The poster for 'Tiger Zinda Hai' starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in lead roles was recently released and boy did it make all their fans go gaga. If there's one thing that can be expected from this film, it's that it will be totally action-packed. Salman Khan, who reprises his role as Tiger, will be seen in some jaw-dropping and death-defying never-seen-before action in the most awaited action entertainer of 2017. Salman will be seen wielding some of the heaviest deadly weapons, to take down his rivals. MG 42, a massive machine gun as seen in the picture, is the weapon of choice for Tiger to fight his gritty battles. Shooting with the weapon wasn't easy though, as the gun weighed as much as 25-30 kilos.
Director Ali Abbas Zafar stated, "When you feature a superstar like Salman Khan, who is known to pull his weight for a film's action, you need to have weaponry that suits his stature and also fit in with the scale of 'Tiger Zinda Hai'." He added, "This fight sequence is part of a very crucial chapter in the film, and the weapon needed to match the scale and impact of this moment. For this scene, Salman fired around 5000 cartridges, over 3 consecutive days. It actually becomes one of the most iconic shots of the film. Because the gun was being used continuously, we needed to keep two such weapons ready for use. It generates extreme heat and we worked in very hot conditions. We had to flip the gun continuously, and keep both in perfect functioning condition."
'Tiger Zinda Hai' is slated to release on December 22, 2017. Stay tuned for more updates.
