Tiger Zinda Hai‘s Director Thinks Indian Cinema Is Moving Towards Realism

Director Ali Abbas Zafar, whose upcoming film Tiger Zinda Hai is based on a real life incident, says Indian cinema is now focusing more on realism. The film draws inspiration from the extraordinary incident of a group of 46 Indian nurses cheating death while being held hostage by militants in battle-torn Iraq.

“Indian cinema is moving towards more realism now and, as filmmakers, we are getting more inspired by what is happening around us and telling those stories on big screen,” Zafar said in a statement.

The director added that the upcoming Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer is an attempt in the same direction where the story is based on a real event.

“But it is a completely fictional film with the characters of Tiger and Zoya who take you into the journey of these nurses and a war-torn country Iraq,” he said.

Tiger Zinda Hai is the sequel to Ek Tha Tiger and is slated to release on December 22.

“It didn’t quite work out. I love Meena Kumari. If I had a girl crush on somebody, it would be her. If she was alive, I’d probably land up to see her all the time. I am that fascinated by her. I always wanted to play her. The script has to do justice. It can’t just be a sensational account of her life, even if she is not around. It has to present different episodes of her life and not just the ones that will grab eyeballs. So, I decided not to do it,” she tells DNA.

Earlier it was rumoured that Kangana Ranaut was expected to star in the biopic. Vidya currently has Tumhari Sulu in the pipeline, slated to release on November 17.
