The biopic is based on RAW agent Ravindra Kaushik, better known as Black Tiger. He is regarded as the country’s top-notch spy, who penetrated the ranks of the Pakistan armed forces.
After Arjun Kapoor-starrer ‘India’s Most Wanted’ (2019), there was talk that Raj Kumar Gupta’s next film ‘Raid’ (2018) would be the second outing with Ajay Devgn. It seems that the writer-director has shelved the idea of turning it into a franchise. If industry sources are to be believed, Gupta is in talks with Salman Khan for a biopic on RAW agent Ravindra Kaushik, popularly known as Black Tiger. He is regarded as the country’s top-notch spy who entered the ranks of the Pakistan Armed Forces. It is also being added to the discussion that if things go well, this will be Salman’s first biopic.
Gupta is said to have been researching Kaushik’s life for some time. Khan also plays the role of a RAW agent in the Tiger franchise. In 2012, Kaushik’s family claimed that the story of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ appeared to be based on his life and had sought credit from the makers. We think Gupta has already obtained the necessary permissions.
Salman Khan is now keen to play the role of a real-life hero. Looking at his busy date diary, Salman is trying to manipulate his dates. ‘Tiger 3’, another season of ‘Bigg Boss’, Farhad Samji’s next, ‘Kick 2’ and a remake of South’s film ‘Master’. There is already buzz that Salman intends to launch the first poster and title of Farhad Samji’s next film on the occasion of Bakri Eid on July 21. While the name of the film was earlier ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’, now it has been named as ‘Bhaijaan’. And it also stars Pooja Hegde, Aayush Sharma, Zaheer Iqbal and Asim Riaz. Salman is also in talks with Sooraj Barjatya for his next film. Khan also has ‘Antiem: The Final Truth’ directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. The film is the Hindi adaptation of the Marathi hit, ‘Mulshi Pattern’ (2018) and also stars Aayush Sharma.
