Comments: Katrina Kaif “Tiger Zinda Hai has been a project for us, something on which we have all worked with a lot of love and passion. For the action sequences, Ali Abbas Zafar was very clear that it has to be real combat and not overtly unbelievable. Personally, for action sequences I prefer to train myself as much as I can. For my training, I had a wonderful team from . Ali was very particular about the weapons used in the movie. My trainers ensured that the position and posture used for holding the gun was right. I took basic lessons for MMA, kickboxing and fight choreography but more than this, what I really enjoyed was the aggressive training that helped me understand the kind of intensity required for the sequence.”

Ali Abbas Zafar Tiger Zinda Hai’s speciality is that it brought together different people from different countries to execute one vision. This move is not one man’s journey, it is a collective art. Across the religion, culture and boundaries somewhere humans need to come together and stand-up for humanity and that is what we aimed with this movie. Tiger Zinda Hai in a nutshell says that the most important thing in the world right now is love, peace and humanity.”
