Black Tiger
Overview
Movie Title: The Black Tiger
Genre: Biopic, Spy, Drama
Director: Anurag Basu
Theme: The film is based on the real life of Ravindra Kaushik, a RAW (Indian Foreign Intelligence Service) agent, who was given the title “Black Tiger” for his significant contributions in the 1970s-80s.
Plot / Background
Ravindra Kaushik began his career as a spy at the age of 20, being sent undercover to infiltrate the high echelons of the Pakistan Army.
During the period from 1974 to 1983, Kaushik provided crucial information, helping RAW & the Indian security forces to stay ahead in many tense situations between India and Pakistan.
However, his life is not only about success: dangerous missions, loneliness, and also secrets, risks, and great challenges. The film is expected to explore both the human side, the inner side as well as the political and social impact of intelligence activities in this historical period.
Cast & Production
According to reports, Salman Khan was mentioned to play Ravindra Kaushik in this film.
Producers: Anurag Basu, Asvin Srivatsangam, Divay Dhamija.
Current status: There is a lot of information that the Black Tiger project was planned, then encountered difficulties, the press noted that there were changes in actors, scripts and there is a possibility that this film has not been made or has been postponed.
Release date / Status
So far, there is no official release date announced clearly (some sources say 2024) but then there are also reports that the film is not progressing.
There are many reports that the Black Tiger project may have been postponed or halted due to name conflicts, as Salman Khan has played the role of “Tiger” in other films, so the use of the name Black Tiger is confusing.

The trailer reveals powerful visuals, spy vibes, secret struggles; however, it also seems that the trailer has not shown all the real content, many things are still in the introduction stage.
Illustrative images show:
The poster image is dark, gloomy, leaning towards the theme of spies & secrets.
There are posters or teaser images with Salman Khan as a mysterious-looking person, tense with lights, darkness.
Reviews & Expectations
The project has garnered a lot of attention because of the little-known true story of Ravindra Kaushik, one of the most “secret” spies in modern Indian history. A biopic could be historical, inspirational and even emotional if done well.
One of the big challenges is to balance historical authenticity with cinematic needs — to make the film both engaging and not distort the truth.
Understanding the political and international context — especially the India-Pakistan relationship during that period — will be key to the film’s weight.
If the actors and production team are right, the visuals, script, music… could all make this film stand out in the biopic/spying genre in India.
