EXCLUSIVE - Salman Khan Fights To Save 25 Nurses

The first trailer for Salman Khan’s action thriller Tiger Zinda Hai was released online on Tuesday. Salman returns as Tiger, a spy on a mission to save nurses being held hostage in Iraq by an evil dictator. Shot in exotic locations, and boasting Hollywood-standard action, the trailer highlights the attention to detail that has gone into making the film.

Salman and his co-star from the first film, 2012’s Ek Tha Tiger, return on a joint mission to evacuate the hostages. There are shades of the recent Akshay Kumar film Airlift - which featured a similar plot and was set in the Middle East - and there is also some of the globe-trotting that we see in the Jason Bourne movies. In one sequence we also see Salman on a skateboard - like Vin Diesel in the xXx movies.

All this goes to show the ambitions of the filmmakers into making a world-class film. The action and the plot (for once) are clearly spelled out in the trailer, and the stars - Salman and Katrina - have been given moments to shine.
