Salman Khan Shoots Risky Sequence On Horseback For Tiger Zinda Hai

Tiger, Salman rides a prized Spanish stallion

 

Tiger Zinda Hai is one of the most awaited films of this year. It’s what you can rightly call the year-ender for Bollywood. The film is said to be full of high octane action sequences.

We had earlier written about how the team worked in the extreme cold in Austria. Besides Austria, the film has some action scenes in Morocco as well. Salman who plays an Indian Intelligence agent had some tough action sequences in Morocco.

Salman who is a trained rider took only three days to prepare for the action sequence. The makers of Tiger Zinda Hai had hired expert horse trainers who have worked on huge Hollywood productions like Brad Pitt’s Troy and Alexander to ensure safety and brilliance in execution.

Director Ali Abbas Zafar said, “Salman is a trained rider. He returned from the IIFA awards and took just three days to get familiar with his horse, Wado. A prized Spanish stallion, with a gleaming black mane, the horse was trained to cross hurdles, jump over barricades and ride down hills. We have shot risky and edgy portions on horseback with Salman. Getting Wado to know Salman and vice versa therefore, was key to ensuring that this portion of the shoot goes off well. We’ve shot for eight days and getting trained, skilled horses actually made this portion of the shoot fairly easy to execute.”
Fans are also eagerly waiting for the release of Tiger Zinda Hai  as Salman and Katrina Kaif will be coming back together onscreen after a gap of five years. The makers as well as actors have made sure to keep the fans eager by posting photos from the set and from the film.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film is Salman and Katrina’s second  with Zafar. While Salman has earlier worked with the director in Sultan, Katrina has worked with Ali for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

Tiger Zinda Hai is set to release on 22 December, 2017
