Director Ali Abbas Zafar is currently busy with the promotions of his latest film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’. The film stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. The filmmaker confesses that both Ranveer and Arjun said that the filmmaker has used them to become famous.


Ali reveals Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor’s reaction about his latest film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, "Ranveer and Arjun’s reaction right now is that I used them to become famous and then I went to Salman Khan (laughs) and now I’m only working with him. They feel used and abused. They called me to say, ‘Baba you used us in ‘Gunday’, made us run on coal trains in the heat and now, you are going and shooting in international, exotic locations like Austria and Morocco with Salman. Why didn’t you take us there?’ That complaint is an ongoing one, I have to hear it almost every third day.”


Ali Abbas Zafar expresses his interest in making a three hero comedy film with Varun, and Ranveer, "I want to do a three-hero film with Ranveer, Arjun, and Varun. It’s something that genuinely excites me. If I can write a script where the trio can come together, it will be great. All three of them are exceptionally talented and have great comic timing. I’m dying to do an out-and-out situational comedy with them which would be more contemporary, cooler, much like a boys’ film."
