Tiger Zinda Hai: Salman Khan took only three days to prepare for his horse riding stunts

Salman Khan trained by Hollywood horse rider expert for Tiger Zinda Hai action sequence. 

Salman Khan has shot one of the most extravagant action sequences on a horseback in Morocco. The actor had spent just three days to prepare for this chapter of the action thriller. To ensure brilliance in execution and assured safety, the team of Tiger Zinda Hai had hired expert horse trainers who have worked on huge Hollywood productions like Brad Pitt’s Troy and Alexander.

Director Ali Abbas Zafar explains, “Salman is a trained rider. He returned from the IIFA awards and took just three days to get familiar with his horse, Wado. A prized Spanish stallion, with a gleaming black mane, the horse was trained to cross hurdles, jump over barricades and ride down hills. We have shot risky and edgy portions on horseback with Salman. Getting Wado to know Salman and vice versa therefore, was key to ensuring that this portion of the shoot goes off well. We’ve shot for eight days and getting trained, skilled horses actually made this portion of the shoot fairly easy to execute.”

In YRF’s mega action thriller Tiger Zinda Hai, Salman plays an Indian intelligence agent. Supporting him on this journey is the leggy lass Katrina Kaif, who will be seen performing some breath taking action sequences too. Fans are extremely excited about watching the two sharing screen space after a gap of five years. The two had earlier appeared in Ek Tha Tiger, prequel of Tiger Zinda Hai.
