Riding high on the success of his latest spy thriller, Tiger Zinda Hai, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan thanked his fans for showering love on the film: “It was an extremely challenging shoot for the entire crew, given that we had to pull off some incredible action sequences, sometimes in blistering heat and then in freezing cold.”

He went on to say that the love that the film has received validates the efforts everyone put in to make a really good entertainer. The actor also congratulated his co-star and director. “I congratulate Katrina for her extraordinary performance, and Ali for his vision and awesome direction in pulling off Tiger Zinda Hai,” he said.

Released on December 22, Tiger Zinda Hai has made over Rs.150 crore in four days. Backed by Yash Raj Films (YRF), the film is a sequel to the Kabir Khan-directed Ek Tha Tiger and marks the return of Salman and Katrina together onscreen after five years.
