Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' to now release on Diwali 2023
What's the story
Salman Khan's Tiger 3 is running behind schedule! The third installment of the uber-successful Yash Raj Films' Tiger franchise, the action-thriller was initially slated to release on April 21, 2023, to commemorate the festival of Eid. However, in a surprising development, the film's release date has now been pushed to Diwali 2023! The Maneesh Sharma directorial co-stars Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Ek Tha Tiger (2012), directed by Kabir Khan, was one of the most successful outings of Khan's career and a bonafide commercial blockbuster. This was followed by Tiger Zinda Hai which was released in 2017 and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. It also laid the foundation of YRF's ever-expanding spy universe which now includes War, the Hrithik Roshan-starrer's sequel, and SRK's Pathaan.
Announcement
Along with the update, Khan dropped a poster, too
Khan shared the update on Saturday morning. He wrote, "Tiger has a new date... Diwali 2023 it is! Celebrate #Tiger3 with #YRF50 only on a big screen near you. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu." He also dropped a new poster that showed most of his face covered with a mask. Within a few minutes of the update, #Tiger3 began trending on Twitter.
