Emraan Hashmi says he was in Turkey to shop while Salman-Katrina shot for Tiger 3, says he's 'loving all the gossip'

Emraan Hashmi playing the villain in Salman Khan’s highly anticipated Tiger 3 has been a subject of news for several months now. The Chehre star who has on occasion been probed about his involvement with the project has always been vague about his response. His lean and muscular physical transformation during the time of these reports going the rounds has only added fuel to the fire.

While the actor had previously doused rumours of starring in Tiger 3, rumours came alive again as Emraan headed to Turkey at the same time when Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif were shooting a schedule of the film there. He was once again confronted about Tiger 3 on the sidelines of the trailer launch of his film Dybbuk and talking about his Turkey visit Emraan told New 18, “I just went to Turkey for shopping. I bought some evil eyes from there.” 

When prodded further about the coincidence about being in Turkey and Austria while Tiger 3 was being shot there, Emraan said, “Let there be people’s judgments and assumptions about me. I am loving all the gossip and how people are intrigued about my work. I never agreed or denied being part of the film (smiles).”

The actor talked about his chiseled physique too and added that he simply worked on his fitness since there was not much else to do during the lockdown.

Tiger 3 is expected to be the biggest film of the blockbuster action franchise yet. Emraan had earlier addressed the rumours of being in Tiger 3 while telling Pinkvilla, “Who told you what I have already shot for it? People are saying this, but I have not shot for the film. In-fact, I am not a part of the film. I don’t know why people are saying this. I have never given a quote or never said that I am doing the film.”
