Earlier this August, Yash Raj  Films marked a decade of Ek Tha Tiger (2012) by announcing the release date of the third instalment of the action-thriller franchise fronted by Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Until Friday, Tiger 3, helmed by Maneesh Sharma, was slated to arrive in theatres on Eid—April 21, 2023. However, the release has now been deferred to next Diwali. Salman announced the new date of his upcoming Tiger outing with a poster and wrote, “Tiger has a new date… Diwali 2023 it is.” While the makers haven’t revealed reasons for the delay, we hear the shooting is not yet complete. Shah Rukh Khan, who plays a cameo in Tiger 3, is apparently yet to shoot his scenes with Salman. The latter is said to be racing against time to complete his other production venture, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Rumours are rife that the Farhad Samji-directorial venture, which is slated to release on December 30 this year, might take up Tiger 3’s Eid date, ie April 21, 2023. However, we are still waiting on the official confirmation about the developments.
