Tiger 3: Salman Khan became fond of his on-screen rival Emraan Hashmi while shooting in Turkey, Austria

Back in August this year, Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan headed to Russia to kick off the international leg of their much awaited action thriller Tiger 3. Well, they were later joined by their co-star Emraan Hashmi for the shooting schedules in Turkey and Austria. While Salman and Kat will reprise their beloved characters Tiger and Zoya, Emraan will reportedly be seen as a ‘sophisticated villain’ who will sport multiple looks for the film. He has also been described as ‘Pakistan’s Tiger’ in a few reports.

While Salman and Emraan will be seen as rivals on-screen, the latest report shared by ETimes has revealed that their on-set relationship is the exact opposite! The two apparently became good friends while shooting in Turkey and Austria. A source was quoted saying, “Salman is very fond of Emraan Hashmi and it was obvious on the sets and after each shot, the actor would go up to Emraan and at times even pat him on his back. They had become buddies on set.”

The source also revealed that 65 percent of Tiger 3 has been completed. A set is now being built at YRF studio in Mumbai. The team will be returning to the city in the next couple of days. Other than Tiger 3, another project that will keep Salman really busy is Bigg Boss season 15.
