Tiger 3: Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif Starrer To Go On Floors In Istanbul, Not UAE

Bollywood’s bhaijaan Salman Khan recently announced that his much awaited film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai will release in theatres on Eid 2021, as promised. Fans were over the moon with joy to hear that they will finally get to see the superstar shine on the silver screen again after so long. Well, the actor recently wrapped up the shoot of another upcoming project. Salman finished the filming of Mahesh Manjrekar’s Antim: The Final Truth, also starring Aayush Sharma, in just a period of 60 days.

Well, Salman will now be neck deep in back-to-back shoots of Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathan and Tiger 3 with Katrina Kaif. However, there’s one slight change in the plan. The third installment of the Tiger series was supposed to go on floors in UAE, but latest reports suggest that producer Aditya Chopra had to rethink the location due to a hike in COVID-19 cases in the emirates.

In a report shared by Mid Day, a source revealed, “Having ensured that the pre-production began last December, Adi wants to begin the film on schedule. Since the UAE is witnessing a spike in cases, Maneesh and he are now discussing the possibility of heading to Istanbul first and wrapping up the required portions with Salman, who has given his bulk dates from March.”

While Katrina will return to the big screen as Zoya, Salman will reprise his popular character Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger. The actor is said to begin his prep today and will be seen in a lean avatar. Well, we are super excited!
