He also added that as soon as the lockdown ends and things are back on track, he will head out for a recce with Kat.

The Tiger Zinda Hai director shared, "There's a lot of prep required because of the kind of action involved and I am in touch with an international team over video calls. I'm also doing script readings with my actors and chatting with the production designer. There's a lot happening."

So where has Zafar been completing his scripts amid the lockdown? He's been staying with his parents and working at their new home a little way away from Dehradun airport. The filmmaker-screenwriter shared, "I have got some much-needed sleep, fresh air and lots of time to write. I have written all my films either in Dehradun or Mussoorie. I cut myself off from Mumbai to write peacefully here. So, yes, this will be my writing pad."
