Ali Abbas had earlier assisted director Kabir Khan on EkTha Tiger. However, Ali said that when he wrote the story of Tiger Zinda Hai, it wasn’t meant as a sequel. In fact, it began life as a separate story altogether. “It was only when I felt that the story was worth being told that I decided to take it further. There were two intelligence agents in my story and then we already had this film where Salman and Katrina were agents, so we decided to merge those agents in this story and then it became a story of two characters people already know,” he explained.
