Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, which is set to release this Diwali, is one of the most awaited films of the year. The highly anticipated actioner also stars Katrina Kaif in a key role along with Emraan Hashmi who will be seen playing the antagonist in the Maneesh Sharma directorial.
Fans of Bollywood’s Bhaijaan have been eagerly waiting for the third installment in the Tiger franchise for six years and they will soon get to witness it all on the big screen. But ahead of the release, keeping the tradition, Yash Raj Films is set to drop the trailer of Tiger 3. The much-awaited trailer will be unveiled today (October 16) at noon.
Ahead of the trailer launch, News18 Showsha spoke to filmmaker Kabir Khan, who directed the first movie Ek Tha Tiger (2012) in an exclusive interaction where he said he was super excited for Tiger 3. “There is always a sense of being a part of the endeavour as I created Tiger (the character) with Ek Tha Tiger (2012) so there is a special connection with this franchise. It’s been more than a decade and I have been super proud of it. Tiger 3 is releasing soon and despite it not being my film, I am still super nervous (smiles) as I am really curious to know what the story will be all about. I am waiting for it to release and I plan to see it only on the big screen cheering and whistling with the audience. Yash Raj Films is like home for me and I am keeping my fingers crossed and wishing all the success to the entire team,” Khan said.
The director says that while shooting for Ek Tha Tiger, there were no plans of coming up with a spy universe, “We always had the idea of making this film into a franchise but we never thought of spy universe. I don’t know about Adi because he is a visionary filmmaker and likes to keep his cards close to his chest so maybe he must have some idea (laughs), but we never discussed it as such. I also feel that the whole ‘universe’ concept started only a few years back that too in Hollywood so I don’t think the concept existed when we were shooting the film. But I am excited for the YRF Spyverse and it’s a good thing as long as the audiences are enjoying it. Both Tiger and Zoya’s character (played by Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif respectively are iconic now.”
After the massive success of War and Pathaan, fans are excited about what will come next especially as it links both the films with the Tiger franchise. Many fan theories want a spin-off of many characters including Kaif’s Zoya. Ask Khan about it and he says, “It’s a very interesting concept and a great idea. Zoya is one of the most fascinating characters and I hope someone picks up the character and has a good backstory and we can see Katrina headlining the film on an adventure of her own. I hope Adi takes it forward.”
