Images leaked from Turkey sets
The leaked pictures, widely being shared by fan accounts on social media, show Khan dressed up in a jacket and standing with his team on the film's set. The images are reportedly from Turkey, where the shooting is currently underway. Large trucks and tanks in a barren field, an entourage of multiple cars, and a foreign crew supervising the stunts also caught our eye.
Cast
Which actors will feature in 'Tiger 3'?
The upcoming film will star Khan as Avinash "Tiger" Singh Rathore, while Kaif is all set to reprise her action avatar as Zoya, an ISI agent. Emraan Hashmi is the new entrant in the franchise, though it is undisclosed which role he will play. Actor-director Revathy, who shared the screen with Khan in Love (1991), will reunite with him and play his mentor's role.
Story
What can be the plot of 'Tiger 3'?
Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai focused on different stories, though they were direct sequels. As is the case with each Spy Universe film, the story is expected to be centered around a nefarious terrorist group trying to bring down Indian intelligence agencies. Zoya has helped Tiger in his missions in the last two films and would have a meaty role here, too.

As mentioned above, Tiger 3 is the next film in YRF's Spy Universe after Pathaan and will feature a cameo by Shah Rukh Khan, who will play R&AW agent Pathaan. Earlier, Khan was seen in a special appearance in Pathaan and was part of the post-credit scene, too. Moreover, the characters of Tiger and Zoya were repeatedly mentioned in Pathaan by the antagonist Jim.
