“Salman Khan is previously doing a spy film in the Tiger franchise which is going to be a big bang in the upcoming years. He didn’t want to make another spy film that would lead to comparisons between the two characters.” Interestingly, the great Indian spy, Ravindra Kaushik also had the code name, Tiger, making things even more similar. Hence, after several discussions with his team, he has taken out of Black Tiger,”.
