Newshub18:Why Ali Abbas is not directing ‘Tiger 3′ despite Tiger Zinda Hai’ being a hit?
The third film in the ‘Tiger’ franchise is in a frenzy. The name of the film is ‘Tiger 3’. None of the films in this franchise starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have flopped so far. The first film was directed by Kabir Khan and the second film i.e. ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The question is, why didn’t Ali direct the second film despite the film being a hit? Is there a dispute with Salman behind the scenes? Just like it happened on the sets of ‘Kavi Eid Kavi Diwali’. Answered by Ali Abbas himself.
In an interview given to a media, Ali Abbas said that the film’s producer Aditya Chopra is like his great grandfather. He was the one who was offered when it came to thinking about doing this third film in the ‘Tiger’ franchise. But he couldn’t. His reason is that Ali had appointed himself for other work, he claimed. He said that the rumors of his dispute with Salman Khan are completely false. The question is, who is the director of this film instead of Ali? He is Manish Sharma. Earlier, Manish directed the film ‘Band Baaja Barat’ under Yash Raj’s banner. The film starring Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh was also a big hit. The film is slated to release on Eid next year.
Salman-Katrina duo’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ was released in 2012. In 2017, the duo returned to the film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’. Spy Tiger’s action and Salman-Katrina’s steamy romance rocked the box office. After breaking up with Ranbir Kapoor, Kat came back into Salman’s life. There was hope among the fans, this time their Salluvai will sit on the wedding floor. But it didn’t happen. Katrina became Vicky’s housemate, and Bhaijaan is still single today. The detractors also admitted that their pair is a superhit even if they are not offscreen. The first two films were hits, it remains to be seen whether the tradition will be maintained in the third film as well
