Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Diwali release Tiger 3 will follow the events of Hrithik Roshan’s 2019 film War and Shah Rukh Khan’s 2023 blockbuster Pathaan, the duo confirmed in a new poster of the upcoming spy-action thriller on Saturday.
The poster, dropped days before the teaser launch of the film alongside Shah Rukh’s Jawan in theatres on September 7, shows Salman’s gun-wielding RAW agent Avinash ‘Tiger’ Singh Rathore alongside Katrina’s ISI agent Zoya ‘Zee’ Humaimi in a war-torn location. Salman rocks Tiger’s trademark handkerchief around his neck, while Katrina carries an automatic rifle and sports a bulletproof vest. .
“No limits. No Fear. No turning back. #Tiger3 in theatres this Diwali. 💫 Celebrate #Tiger3 with #YRF50 only at a big screen near you. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. @beingsalmankhan | #ManeeshSharma | @yrf,” Katrina wrote, sharing the poster on Instagram.
Sharing the same poster on Instagram, Salman wrote, “Aa raha hoon! #Tiger3 on Diwali 2023. Celebrate #Tiger3 with #YRF50 only at a big screen near you. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.”
Helmed by Fan director Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, Tiger 3 also stars Emraan Hashmi in a pivotal role. It is the fifth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe and the sequel to Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). It is rumoured that Shah Rukh Khan will make a cameo appearance in the film as RAW agent Pathaan.
YRF Spy Universe kick-started with 2012’s Ek Tha Tiger followed by Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), both headlined by Salman Khan. In 2019, Hrithik Roshan made his debut in the universe as Major Kabir Dhaliwal. Shah Rukh joined the spy universe as Pathaan in 2023.
Tiger 3 will arrive in theatres in IMAX on Diwali in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
