Tiger 3: Emraan Hashmi to play villain in the Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer?

Emraan Hashmi is taken on board for Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger 3 as per reports. Hashmi will play the villain in the movie. As per a report in Times of India, YRF felt that Emraan fits the role as he is a fine, intense actor and that quality got him the role.

Reports state that the shoot of Tiger 3 will start after Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathan’s shoot ends. It is said that Salman has a few minutes role in Pathan’s climax. Tiger 3 shoot will start in March 2021 in Mumbai, mostly in the third week. Emraan is expected to join the cast in March itself. The first schedule will be in YRF Studios wherein Emraan will shoot a few scenes with Katrina and Salman.

Earlier, a Mid-Day report stated that instead of shooting in UAE first, the makers are planning to change it to Istanbul due to COVID 19 cases spike in UAE. After wrapping up Bigg Boss 14 finale Salman will be busy in Tiger 3. It will be directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra.

The previous two films of the Tiger franchise-Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai were directed by Kabir Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar. Both were blockbusters. Salman had completed shooting for his film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai and Antim: The Final Truth. As per a report in Bollywood Hungama, Radhe’s teaser is expected to release in March. The teaser is said to be ‘slick and massy’. The portal quoted a source saying, “The shoot of the film was completed post-lockdown after which the makers began full throttle with the post-production work. Meanwhile, recently, they also managed to put together a teaser of the film. Since it’s a teaser, the video won’t be more than a minute long but it gives a nice idea about the film and its action and grandeur.”
