Speaking
at
the
Kirori
Mal
College
Alumni
meet,
Kabir
said,
"The
series
was
started
by
me,
and
Ali
is
taking
that
forward.
I
feel
very
happy
for
him.
He
was
my
assistant
and
my
close
friend
too."
"As
Yash
Raj
Films
has
the
rights
of
the
series,
so
Ali
will
be
directing
the
second
instalment.
He
will
go
with
his
vision
of
'Tiger',
though
the
characters
and
the
basic
set-up
will
be
the
same.
The
world
which
was
created
by
me
will
be
the
same,
but
the
interpretation
will
be
different," he
added.
Asked
if
he
has
given
any
personal
inputs
for
the
sequel,
Kabir
Khan
said:
"No,
I
haven't.
Whatever
the
characters
were
in
the
first
part,
those
will
be
carried
forward,
but
the
plot
is
different
and
is
created
by
Ali
only."
The
shooting
of
Tiger
Zinda
Hai
has
started
in
Morocco.
It
is
slated
to
release
on
December
22.
Meanwhile,
Khan
has
recently
finished
shooting
his
forthcoming
movie
Tubelight.
"We've
completed
the
shoot
before
schedule.
Now
the
post-production
is
going
on.
Still
there
is
a
lot
of
time
to
release
the
film,
so
I
have
some
ideas."
"I
am
thinking
of
making
some
mini-series
for
Netflix
and
Amazon...
There
are
some
ideas,
which
I
am
trying
to
develop.
As
soon
as
Tubelight
releases,
I
will
be
able
to
make
an
announcement
about
my
next
project."
