The third part also will reportedly see Emraan Hashmi play the baddie against Salman and fans have been excited about the same. Hence, the rest of the shoot has not been affected by the actress' absence due to COVID 19 diagnosis. Meanwhile, Pinkvilla recently reported that despite Katrina Kaif testing positive for COVID 19, the shoot has remained unaffected for Salman as the actress had shot a week back for the film and was scheduled to join again by end of April. Well, if this turns out to be true, fans may get to witness Tiger's fun banter with his handler Gopi aka Ranvir and once again, a touch of fun will be added to the spy actioner. The superstar and Ranvir will begin by filming a comedy sequence with a female actor, following it up with a few high-octane scenes." Reportedly, Salman and Ranvir will soon begin shooting together and their shoot will apparently kick off with a comedy scene with another female actor in the film.Ī source informed the daily, "When writing the third part, producer Aditya Chopra and writer Jaideep Sahni decided to bring him back as the trusted aide of RAW agent Avinash Singh Rathore, portrayed by Salman. As per the report by the leading daily, Aditya Chopra and writer of Tiger 3 took the call to bring Ranvir back in the franchise as someone who Tiger could trust. Now, as per a report in Mid-Day, the makers of Tiger 3 made sure to include Ranvir's character in the third part. If you recall, in the first part, Ranvir aka Gopi Arya was seen as Tiger's handler. Amid this, a recent report now claims that an important character from Ek Tha Tiger, the first part of Tiger, will be returning to the franchise in the third installment and it is none other than Ranvir Shorey's character, Gopi Arya. Several times, Katrina and Salman have been snapped at the YRF studios that has added to the buzz related to the film. While the official announcement of the film is awaited, reports have been coming in about the ongoing shoot of the third installment. I don’t get excited about going back and revisiting that character,” he concluded.A film that has been in the headlines for quite some time now is Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger 3. "Maybe 4-5 years down the line, suddenly a story comes up or somebody brings a story about one of the characters that I have created and I get really excited then I say 'hey I want to do it'. However, Kabir is also of the thought that ‘Never Say Never’. After completing Russia’s shooting schedule of the film, which is expected to end in September, Salman is supposed to return to India in October and start shooting.

Tiger 3 stars actor Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist. You can imagine the pressure there is to make Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. But for me, the story is over,” he added. The first two films -’Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ were directed by Kabir Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar respectively. Yes, it had the potential of a franchise when we were writing but I was very clear that I am not going to do it and I have never been excited about franchises. I told them that ‘if you have seen the film, you will see that all the characters die, about whom will I make the film?’. Not only in Tiger, after New York also people started saying when will the sequel be made. The film received an overwhelming response and was a huge success at the box office.

“In our industry, the moment a film is a hit people start making a sequel. The first film of the popular franchise called Ek Tha Tiger came out in 2012 and was directed by Kabir Khan. I have a story in my mind but it has not excited me enough to go back and do a story with those characters," he shared. I always do think about what would have happened to these characters after the film. I am not living with that character anymore. I feel that when I have made that film I am done with that story. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama at the El Gouna Film Festival in Egypt, Kabir Khan got candid on why he did not direct the sequel to Ek Tha Tiger. Currently, the shoot of Tiger 3 is underway with Maneesh Sharma directing it. The sequel to the film Tiger Zinda Hai was released in 2017 which was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Ek Tha Tiger(2012) starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif took us into the world of Tiger, a RAW agent, and Zoya, an ISI agent. While he is known for his distinctive storytelling style, the one thing that he has stayed away from is franchises despite directing Ek Tha Tiger which paved the way for one of the biggest franchise movies in Bollywood. In Ek Tha Tiger, the new Salman Khan movie, still rollicking from renewed fandom set afire by Wanted we see a man on a mission: an Indian intelligence agent, gone rouge by love an organic. Noted filmmaker Kabir Khan is credited with some of the most successful films of Bollywood including New York, Ek Tha Tiger, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan among others.
