Salman Khan said working on the third part of his popular spy franchise Tiger has been "hectic" yet fun.
Salman Khan who is currently in Abu Dhabi to attend the IIFA Awards, opened up about completing the shoot of one of his most-anticipated movies Tiger 3. The actor also revealed the release date of the movie which will see Khan and Katrina Kaif return as spy agents Tiger and Zoya.
Salman Khan revealed that he has recently wrapped filming for the action-thriller movie, which will arrive in theatres around Diwali. It is produced by Yash Raj Films and said, “I have been here (Abu Dhabi) lots of times. I shot for Race 3, Partner, Tiger. I have completed shooting for Tiger 3 now. You will get to see it on Diwali. It was a very hectic shoot. It was good though, Khan said at the IIFA press conference on Thursday evening.”
The first movie in the spy franchise, Ek Tha Tiger, directed by Kabir Khan, chronicled the story of an Indian spy (RAW) code-named Tiger (Salman Khan) who falls in love with a Pakistani spy (Katrina Kaif) during an investigation.
The Ali Abbas Zafar-helmed sequel, Tiger Zinda Hai, saw Tiger and Zoya go on a mission to save a group of hostages held by a militant terrorist organization in Iraq. The film was said to be inspired by the 2014 abduction of Indian nurses by ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). The third part of the much-awaited movie is directed by Maneesh Sharma of Fan and Band Baaja Baaraat fame. It also features Emraan Hashmi.
