New Delhi: Sultan helmer Ali Abbas Zafar's next is again a Salman Khan starrer and naturally expectations are high. The makers are leaving no stone unturned to make Tiger Zinda Hai a sure shot winner at the Box Office.

Tiger Zinda Hai is a sequel to 2012 blockbuster hit Ek The Tiger, helmed by Kabir Khan. Salman will be seen with Katrina Kaif in the film after a hiatus of five long years. The film also promises to treat viewers with some crazy adrenaline pumping stunts.

According to Catchnews.com, a prominent face from South film industry is roped in to paly the baddie in the sequel. Any guesses? Well, it is Sudeep—the highest paid villain from the South reportedly.

The report further states that Sudeep charges a whopping amount of Rs 6 crore while another prominent face Prakash Raj gets around Rs 2 crore. Although no official word has been made by the makers as yet, we feel it would be interesting to see Sudeep battle it out with Salman on the big screens.

To make the actions look at par with international standards, famous Hollywood action director Tom Struthers too has been roped in.

Tiger Zinda Hai is hitting the screens on Christmas this year.
