Kabir Khan shares his special connection with Tiger franchise
In an interview with News18, Kabir Khan said that he felt a sense of belonging to the franchise as he created the character of Tiger with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012. Khan said, “There is always a sense of being a part of the endeavor as I created Tiger (the character) with Ek Tha Tiger (2012) so there is a special connection with this franchise.” He added that he was very proud of the film, even though it has been more than a decade since its release.
Kabir Khan also revealed that he was not a part of Tiger 3, but he was curious and excited to watch it on the big screen. He added, “I am waiting for it to release and I plan to see it only on the big screen cheering and whistling with the audience.” He expressed his best wishes to the entire team of Tiger 3 and said that Yash Raj Films was like home for him.
Kabir Khan reveals Spy Universe wasn’t planned when he made ‘Ek Tha Tiger’
Kabir Khan also disclosed that he had thought of making Ek Tha Tiger into a franchise, but he never envisioned a spy universe, “I don’t know about Adi (filmmaker Aditya Chopra) because he is a visionary filmmaker and likes to keep his cards close to his chest so maybe he must have some idea, but we never discussed it as such.” He said that the concept of a universe was not there when he made Ek Tha Tiger and it only started a few years ago in Hollywood. He said that he was happy for the YRF Spy-verse and hoped that the audience would enjoy it. “But I am excited for the YRF Spy-verse and it’s a good thing as long as the audiences are enjoying it,” he concluded saying that both Tiger (played by Salman Khan) and Zoya’s character (played by Katrina Kaif) have become iconic.
Tiger 3 stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif as Tiger and Zoya, who are secret agents working for RAW and ISI respectively. The film also features Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist. The film is directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra. The film is slated to release on November 12, 2023, during Diwali.
Tiger 3 Trailer Leaves Many Netizens Disappointed, Call It “Below Average, Predictable”
Netizens took to X to share their reactions to the trailer, with Salman fans calling it a ‘blockbuster’ and a ‘mass entertainer’, while many netizens criticizing it for not being upto the mark and bring very ‘predictable’.
Here are some of the tweets from them:
- “This isn’t about fanwar, but #Tiger3Trailer falls flat! The budget of #Tiger3 is more than Pathaan still the production value looks cheap & VFX is very poor. EmraanHashmi completely overshadowed #SalmanKhan with his dialogue delivery & small glimpse but they could have given him a better look. Salman looks exhausted & dull throughout the trailer, he might be the worst looking spy in the spy universe”
- “Nah man, our #PathaanTrailer was something else! Peak cinematic moments, great visuals, mass dialogues. Tiger3Trailer is not even 10% of this! #Pathaan is miles ahead in terms of everything now🔥”
- “This is how trailer should be, this was proper classy, massy and hype was unreal #Tiger3Trailer is nowhere to #pathaan, This is not even a average trailer #salmankhan”
- “Tiger3Trailer – Below average in all aspects😂Not even a SINGLE goosebumps moment, same single expression by #SalmanKhan throughout. Looks like KBKJ with YRF. EmraanHashmi stole the show with his narration and last scene🔥Anyways, only saving factor will now be #Pathaan”
- Emraan Hashmi ek shot mein hi kha gaya Salman ko ….Below Average Trailer..Pathaan aakar bacha lega Tiger ko…. Predictable story..Maneesh Sharma poori story trailer mein hi reveal kr deta h har baar….. galti se
- “People were dancing cheering & hooting on #Pathaan hand 2 hand combat scenes this is a BEAST, actions were cool, story is also key part along with connecting to other movies of the universe.🔥 To be very honest #Pathaan teaser >>>> #Tiger3TrailerReview”
