Tiger Zinda Hai has more surprises in store than we are expecting. Of the many power-packed chase and action sequences, there will be one in which Salman Khan will be pitched against a pack of blood thirsty wolves. The sequence has been shot in the forested and snow-clad mountains of Austria. A snippet of the sequence has been released by Yash Raj Films. Director Ali Abbas Zafar also shared a still of Tiger - "In the wild on frozen ice." In the sequence, Tiger can be seen skiing his way through frozen snow as the wolves chase him down to a cliff end - to know what happens next, you need to watch the video.
Tiger Zinda Hai also stars Katrina Kaif.
The sequence with wolves was a risky one for the superstar and required the assistance of special wolf trainers. It was planned for months before the final execution in Austria. "The international action crew took all cautionary measures to ensure the wolves are well taken care of and that security measures were on point," read a statement released by the makers of
Tiger Zinda Hai.
Calling it "one of the most important chapters" in the movie, Ali Abbas Zafar said the chase was incorporated in the movie to give an edge to Tiger's character: "The idea was to do something, which has never been seen on the Indian screen, and give Tiger's character an edge. This is a very dramatic chase and action sequence that Tiger has with a pack real wolves."
