A day after the trailer for Salman Khan starrer ‘Tiger 3’ stirred excitement among fans, the makers shared an intriguing poster of Emraan Hashmi’s character Aatish on social media. He stars as the antagonist in the film.

Directed by Maneesh Sharma, ‘Tiger 3’ comprises high-octane action and powerful stunts, which has left fans eagerly anticipating the movie's release. The trailer of the movie not only provided a glimpse into the upcoming installment but also recapped the story from the previous films, captivating audiences with its gripping narrative.

YRF, the production company, strategically chose Diwali, November 12, as the release date, ensuring a grand launch during the festive season.

The decision to release the film during this weekend is aimed to capitalize on the festive fervour, with additional holidays following the release, including New Moon/Amavasya on November 13, Govardhan Pooja on November 14, and Bhai Dooj on November 15.

This strategic move is expected to boost the movie's box office collections during the crucial holiday period.

Earlier, Salman Khan spoke about the action in ‘Tiger 3’ and said, ‘What I love about the Tiger franchise is that the protagonist is presented as the larger-than-life Hindi film hero who can take on an army of people with his bare hands. He is okay shedding blood and still keep standing till everyone around him is finished.’

The actor, who has played Tiger in two earlier films and did a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Pathaan’, added, ‘The heroism (of Tiger) is in him taking the challenge head on and not back down just as a real-life tiger would do when he hunts his prey. My character, Tiger, will never retreat from a fight. He will never give up till he is breathing and he will be the last man standing for his country.’
