“In this film, Zoya plays a wonderful spy. It was vital to understand how such agents think and function. So, we got Katrina to coach with real agents, used their expertise and experience. For example, as intelligence agents, you have to train a certain way to go on your mental balance in direst circumstances. Say you face someone who has a gun and you don’t. How do you still stay unbiased and quiet, and figure out the best possible way to respond and survive in such a circumstances. Katrina has actually pushed herself for the part,” Zafar said in a press statement.

After Tiger Zinda Hai, Salman and Zafar will work together again on Bharat, an adaptation of 2014 South Korean film Ode To My Father. To be produced by Salman’s brother-in-law, Atul Agnihotri.
