We hear that one of the most exciting things about this film will be that Emraan Hashmi's character, who is an ISI agent, will be pitted against Salman Khan's Tiger, who is a RAW official.

One can only see sparks fly when these two actors share the screen together and have an ultimate RAW-ISI face-off.

According to a trade source speaking with Pinkvilla, Emraan will be a more than worthy opponent for Salman in the film.

"Emraan Hashmi plays the role of a Pakistani agent, who is pitted against RAW official, Tiger, played by Salman Khan. It's essentially Tiger vs Tiger, as the ISI describes Emraan as Pakistan's answer to Tiger aka. Avinash Singh Rathod. If you heard the late actor Girish Karnad, say, ‘yeh kaam sirf ek admi kar sakta hai, Tiger’ it’s time to be introduced to the toughest and the only person who can play a nemesis to Tiger – ISI agent, Emraan Hashmi.”

Emraan, who in March started shooting for his part in the film, will play a character who is said to be street smart, stylish and someone who can really get into an ideological battle with Salman's Tiger.

“His (Emraan's) look is also far off from the negative leads we have seen. In fact, it’s as stylish as it gets,” said the source.
