Tiger Zinda Hai, the hotly anticipated action flick from Ali Abbas Zafar, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, is set to shoot in the UAE in the coming weeks – and the producers have put out a call for no fewer than 1,500 extras.
In a social-media post, local events-management company Trillium said the filmmakers are looking for men and women, and a variety of nationalities.
Interested would-be movie stars should send two photos of themselves (not selfies) and a copy of their Emirates ID to Ismail Muhammad Al Arkaan on 0525804088.
Trillium’s previous work on movies in the UAE includes 2014’s Bang Bang, which was filmed in Abu Dhabi and also starred Kaif.
The company confirmed that it is handling the Tiger Zinda Hai casting call, but were unable to give any dates or locations of the shoot.
Tiger Zinsa Hai is the sequel to the 2012 hit Ek Tha Tiger, based on the comic books of the same name about an agent code-named Tiger (Khan).
The cast and crew spent much of April filming in the Austrian Tyrol. The film is scheduled for release in December.

The five stages of early child’s play
From Dubai-based clinical psychologist Daniella Salazar:
1. Solitary Play: This is where Infants and toddlers start to play on their own without seeming to notice the people around them. This is the beginning of play.
2. Onlooker play: This occurs where the toddler enjoys watching other people play. There doesn’t necessarily need to be any effort to begin play. They are learning how to imitate behaviours from others. This type of play may also appear in children who are more shy and introverted.
3. Parallel Play: This generally starts when children begin playing side-by-side without any interaction. Even though they aren’t physically interacting they are paying attention to each other. This is the beginning of the desire to be with other children.
4. Associative Play: At around age four or five, children become more interested in each other than in toys and begin to interact more. In this stage children start asking questions and talking about the different activities they are engaging in. They realise they have similar goals in play such as building a tower or playing with cars.
5. Social Play: In this stage children are starting to socialise more. They begin to share ideas and follow certain rules in a game. They slowly learn the definition of teamwork. They get to engage in basic social skills and interests begin to lead social interactions.
