"Diwali 2023, Tiger will roar! Celebrate #Tiger3 with #YRF50 only at a big screen near you. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu," the production house said in the tweet. Maneesh Sharma, best known for YRF titles Fan and Band Baaja Baaraat, serves as director on Tiger 3.
Ek Tha Tiger, the first movie in the franchise was released in 2012. Directed by Kabir Khan, the movie revolved around the story of an Indian spy (RAW) code-named Tiger (Khan) who falls in love with a Pakistani spy Zoya (Kaif) during an investigation. The success of the first film spawned into a franchise, in which Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) was the follow-up. Based on true events, the Ali Abbas Zafar-helmed sequel saw Tiger and Zoya go on a mission to save a group of hostages held by a militant terrorist organisation in Iraq.
