Panaji: His latest film Sultan with Salman Khan became one of the biggest box office hits and now director Ali Abbas Zafar says he feels the pressure to deliver a hit again with the upcoming Tiger Superstars Zinda Hai. The film is a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger, which was Salman's biggest hit at the time of its release in 2012. While the first part was directed by Kabir Khan the second installment will be directed by Ali. The filmmaker says there is some pressure to live up to the 50-year-old actor's confidence, apart from taking the franchise forward. "The main pressure is that when you have the opportunity to work with that star again, you need to improve your game, you need to tell a story that is more relevant today, that's important," Ali said. "Not only for anything else, but also, if that kind of star trusts you both to do something new for him, to explore it in a newer way.Also the fact is that it is a great franchise, it was a great success. There is pressure to take that Franchise ahead. " Ek Tha Tiger recounted the story of an Indian spy (RAW) with the name of Tiger, who falls in love with a Pakistani spy during an investigation. Ali says that the sequel will again be set in the political context, speaking of India's position in the world. "It's a sequel, but it's too early to talk about it in detail, it's political espionage, it's about spies, what's happening in today's world, where India is, what's good, evil." Tiger Zinda Hai also stars Katrina Kaif, who was also her in the first film. Although there were reports that actress Baar Baar Dekho will be in a strong negative role, Ali says Katrina "will kill him" if he does not give her a loaded paper. "I hope she gives him a strong character, she will kill me if I do not. She is my best friend, I hope there are strong characters (in the film)."
