'Dil Diyan Gallan', a beautiful song that sums up the love story of super spies Tiger and Zoya have been shot across extreme climes of Austria. While the mountains were difficult to film in because of bone-chilling, subzero temperatures, the song has turned out to be a visual treat set in the gorgeous Alps. Director Ali Abbas Zafar sums it up as "It is a romantic track that captures the beauty of a mature love story. We have filmed 'Dil Diyan Gallan' in an old school, vintage way to bring alive the romance that two mature people share. It is like a classic Yash Chopra song."
Just like filming for action sequences on this remote Austrian mountainside had its challenges, shooting this ballad didn't come easy either. Ali adds, "Salman and Katrina shot this song on some very difficult terrain in the Alps. The biggest highlight of this song is the unique Katrina portrait that he has drawn on a frozen lake. We had to shoot on this lake and Salman converted it to a canvas. We had to source natural colors, as ice doesn't catch all kinds of paints, which didn't come easy. But once we got hold of this, he created a huge 20 feet by 20 feet portrait that features Katrina's face. It's a sight for sore eyes, this painting, and it makes Dil Diyan Gallan a truly unique romantic song visually."
Salman and Katrina's scorching chemistry has become the talk of the town. Their onscreen romance makes Tiger Zinda Hai even more anticipated. The high octane action thriller is set to release on December 22, 2017.
