Salman Khan to be back as Tiger

Aditya Chopra’s YRF is all set to bring another action-packed part to Salman Khan’s Tiger series after the success of Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai. The team was initially planning to announce the film on the occasion of Yash Chopra’s birthday on September 27 but the date was pushed ahead due to the unexpected pandemic. According to the report, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will remain a pivotal part of the film but an actor to play the villain is yet to be signed. They have been looking at various portfolios since face-to-face auditions are no longer a safe option.

A source told the outlet that the recce on the film will start in December 2020. They said that Maneesh Sharma and the team will conduct a recce across UAE, Istanbul and the US in December. The rest of the destinations are yet to be planned and hence the research will start with these three countries. Aditya Chopra has created the script with Jaideep Sahni and hence it holds a special place. The source also said that despite the ongoing slowdown, Aditya Chopra is quite confident about the project and is expecting a blockbuster. The film will reportedly go on floors in February and the release date is expected to be around Christmas 2021.
