This Christmas weekend is going to be super fun for film fans. Sivakarthikeyan's Velaikkaran and Santhanam's Sakka Podu Podu Raja are the Tamil releases planned to release on December 22. Salman Khan who enjoys a good fan base in Tamil Nadu will have a big release (Tiger Zinda Hai) on the same date. So, Salman Khan, Sivakarthikeyan and Santhanam are likely to make this Christmas a memorable one.

Tiger Zinda Hai director Ali Abbas Zafar explains, “When you feature a superstar like Salman Khan, who is known to pull his weight for a film’s action, you need to have weaponry that suits his stature and also fit in with the scale of Tiger Zinda Hai.”

He adds, “This fight sequence is part of a very crucial chapter in the film, and the weapon needed to match the scale and impact of this moment. For this scene, Salman fired around 5,000 cartridges, over three consecutive days. It actually becomes one of the most iconic shots of the film. Because the gun was being used continuously, we needed to keep two such weapons ready for use. It generates extreme heat, and we worked in very hot conditions. We had to flip the gun continuously, and keep both in perfect functioning condition.”
