Yash Raj Films 'Tiger Zinda Hai', sequel to the record making blockbuster 'Ek Tha Tiger,' has a grand scale and truly global, larger than life feel befitting a sleek, stylish spy drama. The film will go on floors this March 15 in the freezing locales of Tyrol, Austria with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif.

Ali Abbas Zafar will be directing it.  For the film's action and stunt sequence, well known Hollywood stunt performer Tom Stuthers will be in charge. Tom Sturthers is known for the eye popping stunts in Christopher Nolan's Batman series (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises), stunts in Tiger Zinda Hai are bound to set the adrenaline pumping.

With its snow-capped mountains, icy surroundings and small, quaint rural hamlets marking the territory of this province in Austria, conditions of filming here are challenging. The film's team will take on this challenge and shoot a beautiful song sequence and also film slick, edge of the seat action here. 

A YRF spokesperson said, "It will be very cold to shoot here, but Tyrol is both an unexplored and a stunningly beautiful location. We loved the challenge of shooting here. Tom Struthers will bring in a lot of value with his expertise. That Salman and Katrina agreed to shoot in this freezing cold place, where temperatures fall below minus twenty degrees, just goes on to prove how committed they are to the film."

The film will also travel to various other locations abroad during the course of its shoot.

Meanwhile, Paresh Rawal will play a special role in 'Tiger Zinda Hai.' This is the first time ever that Rawal will be seen in a film by the production banner.

Always one to take up new challenges, this role will present Paresh Rawal in a manner that hasn't been seen before. The role is very special, and will surprise audiences who haven't yet seen him portray a character like this one.

Commenting on Rawal's entry to the film’s cast, director Ali Abbas Zafar said, "I have always been a fan of his work and what he brings to his characters and I can't wait to see him in this very special role, I am fortunate to be part of a film which is Paresh Rawal’s first for Yash Raj Films."

With Salman Khan and Katrina together in this film and some mind blowing action and stunts, expect 'Tiger Zinda Hai' to keep you entertained.
