Tiger Zinda Hai Movie (2017):
Tiger Zinda Hai (Translation: Tiger Is Alive) is a Hindi spy action-thriller film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar from a story by Zafar and Neelesh Misra; produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The film is the sequel to Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and the second in the Tiger franchise, and also the second installment in the YRF Spy Universe. The film stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reprising their roles from the predecessor alongside Angad Bedi, Sajjad Delafrooz, Kumud Mishra, Nawab Shah, Ivan Rodrigues, Girish Karnad and Paresh Rawal. In Tiger Zinda Hai, Avinash “Tiger” Singh Rathore (Khan) and Zoya Humaini-Rathore (Kaif) must come out of hiding to save hostages held by a militant terrorist organization in Iraq.
A sequel was conceived following the success of Ek Tha Tiger but faced a number of delays after the writer and director of the first film, Kabir Khan, refused to return for a sequel; Zafar was subsequently hired to write and direct, and the film’s story draws inspiration from the 2014 abduction of Indian nurses by ISIL. By 2016, pre-production had begun on the film, and filming concluded by 2017, with filming locations including Abu Dhabi, Austria, Greece, and Morocco. With a budget of ₹150 crore (US$23.03 million) it was the one of the most expensive Hindi films ever made at time of its release.
Tiger Zinda Hai was theatrically released worldwide by Yash Raj Films on 22 December 2017. It received generally positive reviews from critics for its action sequences and cast performances. Like its predecessor, it set numerous box-office records during its theatrical run, grossing over ₹565.1 crore (US$86.78 million) worldwide, becoming the 13th highest-grossing Indian film. It also set the record for highest opening weekend for a Hindi-language film, with ₹114 crore (US$17.51 million). At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, Tiger Zinda Hai won for Best Action. The third installment in the franchise, Tiger 3 is slated to release on Diwali 2023.
