Zafar explains, “In the sequel, we were clear that we present Tiger (Khan) and Zoya (Kaif) as a couple who choose duty over family. Anyone whose heart is in the right place would do the same and stand up for their country. The idea is to rise above daily life for the larger cause of humanity.”

The director says this also provided a connect with the audience. “When you see Tiger and Zoya as a couple, the ability to relate to their characters increases. Also, by choosing their country they are imparting values to their child. It is the duty of every parent to tell their child that they should always stand for humanity and peace.”

Dec 282017

Katrina Kaif has opted out of the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu due to paucity of time to prep for the role due to her choc a bloc schedule

Katrina Kaif has opted out of the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu due to paucity of time to prep for the role. Blame it on her busy schedule as she is shooting back-to-back for Aanand L Rai’s untitled next with Shah Rukh Khan and Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Thugs Of Hindostan, which stars Aamir Khan.

Katrina Kaif

Says a source from the creative team, “The director [Shree Narayan Singh] had given her a script narration. She loved the story and asked her team to work out further details.”

As Kapoor plays the protagonist — a lawyer — the makers were looking for a top A-list female actor opposite him. The source adds. “She has an equally strong role as she plays his friend, philosopher and guide. Kaif seemed to fit the bill. Also, this was the first time Shahid and she would be working together.” But things appeared to fall apart after the narration.

The source continues, “It’s a challenging role and the character mouths dialogues in a particular style as the film is set in Uttarakhand. Kaif would not just have to look the desi character, but also learn the diction, which would be tough given the time constraints, hence she thought it would be better to say no right at the outset. She was keen on being part of the project, but there was no way she could juggle the dates. She tried to work out the schedule, but it looked tough to fit in the prep along with the shooting of the two films.”

Singh, who is on a recce in Uttarakhand, remained unavalibale for comment. Producer Prernaa Arora says, “We approached Katrina as she was our first choice. She loved the subject and the character. We were ready to work together, but there was a clash of dates. There were workshops she couldn’t attend as she’s shooting continuously for Aanand L Rai’s film and Thugs Of Hindostan till March next year.”

Arora further adds, “Batti Gul Meter Chalu needs to be shot in cold climes on outdoor locations in January and February. The story demands a winter backdrop. As Katrina will not be free till March, we couldn’t wait for Katrina.”

Kabir Khan is glad to see Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in 'Tiger Zinda Hai'

Celebrities

Dec 142017

Filmmaker Kabir Khan says he is happy to see Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and actress Katrina Kaif back together on the big screen in the upcoming film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’

kabir khan

Kabir Khan, who helmed the 2012 blockbuster ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, says he is excited to see Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif on celluloid with the film’s upcoming sequel ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.

The director said it is a great franchise and he is confident the second installment will do well commercially. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the movie is set to release on December 22. “It (‘Tiger Zinda Hai’) is superb, it is looking absolutely fantastic. It is a great franchise, it will do really well. The excitement is already there. “It is great to see Salman and Katrina back together, that chemistry that was so evident five years ago, it is as palpable even today. And Ali has only taken it to a bigger level. It is looking lovely,” Kabir told PTI.

Kabir, however, maintained that comparisons between the two films should be avoided. “Every director brings his own vision. There should be no comparisons between the two films. This is a separate film. They have their own dynamics.”It was Kabir who created the characters of the Indian spy Tiger (Salman) and Pakistani spy, Zoya, played by Katrina Kaif. The filmmaker said he is not keen on taking the franchise ahead as he does not believe in the idea of sequels. “I am not sure about(doing) ‘Tiger’ franchise, it has already moved forward. I don’t do sequels. I might do somebody else’s sequels. Out of all the characters that I have created Tiger is one such (part) which should be taken forward and I am glad it is being taken ahead.

“I myself, don’t know if I will ever do sequels, but never say never. I was asked about taking ahead ‘New York’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. Till now sequels don’t really excite me. In a certain sense, I have a closure with characters with the story, so I don’t get excited of taking them ahead.” Kabir was talking on the sidelines of the launch of actor-politician Bina Kak’s photo book, “Silent Sentinels of Ranthambhore” last evening. The book was released by Salman and Katrina.

Celebrities

Dec 022017

Former couple, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif showcase their breathtaking chemistry in ‘Dil Diyan Gallan’ from ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, a classic love ballad that celebrates the purity of romance

AlthoughTiger Zinda Hai is essentially a spy thriller that focuses on undercover agents, director Ali Abbas Zafar was certain of incorporating a romantic track in the film – one that would do justice to Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif‘s effortless on-screen chemistry. Conceived as a love ballad, the track ‘Dil Diyan Gallan‘ released on Saturday, December 2, 2017. The song makes you believe in love all over again and it beautifully showcases the love story of super-spies Tiger and Zoya. While Katrina sizzles fluently as they try their hands at the dance form-waltz, Salman too matched up the steps smoothly with the dancing queen, Katrina. The song makes you believe in love all over again and it beautifully showcases the love.

This classic love ballad celebrates the purity of romance. The two, who have come together on big screens after 5 years, have shot this romantic song in Austria. Salman also showcased his artistic skills in the frozen lake of Austria. The actor drew a beautiful and mesmerising portrait of Katrina in that frozen lake. Composed by Vishal and Shekhar and sung by Atif Aslam, the song’s lyrics have been penned by Irshad Kamil. The beautiful song has been choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant.

Sources from the production house reveal that the lead stars had to undergo a 15-day prep before they shot for the number. “It took some time and practice for both Salman and Katrina to learn the waltz. They practised for a fortnight and in the last four days, they had to rehearse extensively with Vaibhavi. Kat was a natural and picked up the steps quickly. She even helped Salman with the steps,” says a source. The insider further reveals that shooting in the snow-capped mountains of Austria was an arduous task for the unit.

Zafar says he deliberately chose waltz as it lends the grace and restraint that his characters needed to convey. “We have filmed Dil Diyan Gallan in an old-school manner to capture the beauty of a mature love story. The song comes at a crucial juncture in the film.”

The high-octane spy thriller is all slated to hit the screens this Christmas on December 22, 2017.

Celebrities

Dec 022017

In true Weekend Ka Vaar style, Salman Khan expresses his disappointment with the contestant’s creativity and originality while performing the luxury budget task. He questions Hina for using Chili Powder in the task

The wait is over! Salman Khan is all set to welcome his leading lady from ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, Katrina Kaif to the stage of Bigg Boss 11. Together, the two will sizzle the stage while dancing to the tunes of the track ‘Swag Se Swagat’. As part of a special treat for this Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Katrina reveals that the worldwide release of the next track of the movie will happen in tonight’s episode.

Bigg Boss 11 December 2: Salman questions Hina Khan for using chilli powder in task Salman Khan with Katrina Kaif

Salman then escorts Katrina to a lie detector seat that is put up on stage. He then goes on to ask her fun questions like who is your favourite co-star, are you a hardworking actor and about her dance moves. In return, Katrina then requests Salman to take over the seat and cross-questions him. She asks him about his favourite costar, what his workout routine is like, and why he takes off his shirt at the climax of each movie!

After the fun segment, megastar Salman Khan takes on his role and starts his Vaar on gharwale. Now that Hiten has recently lost the hair on his legs, courtesy Akash, Salman jokes and asks Hiten to show off his legs by wearing a pair of shorts and then asks him to shake a leg on a Katrina number ‘Chikni Chameli.’

Enquiring about the villain of the house this week, most gharwale nominate Puneesh for his aggressive and abusive behavior this week. Salman agrees and calls Puneesh to the dreaded Katghara for questioning. Upset that Puneesh wasted food in a fit of anger, Salman gives him a life lesson he will never forget! Bandagi jumps to his rescue by suggesting that everyone in the house takes advantage of his short temper and corners him; to which Hina says that Bandagi supports this aggressive behaviour.

In true Weekend Ka Vaar style, Salman expresses his disappointment with the contestant’s creativity and originality while performing the luxury budget task. He questions Hina for using Chili Powder in the task, and then goes on to ask Priyank if this move was justified. Vikas steps in and accuses Priyank for not supporting him as ‘sanchalak’ in the task. He then lashes out at Hina for stooping down to an inhuman level where she refuses to give water to a person who is suffering in pain.

In final moments, Salman Khan reveals that Katrina will be entering the house the following day.
