Bollywood stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, who are all set to start shooting for their upcoming outing ‘Tiger 3’, recently attended a puja before the film is scheduled to go on floors. The movie is slated to begin filming on 8 March in Mumbai and the lead actors of the film attended the customary puja at YRF that happens before every film goes on the floor. Director Maneesh Sharma, who is helming this massive franchise now, also attended the puja.
An eyewitness revealed, “Salman had come to YRF to shoot for ‘Pathan’ with Shah Rukh Khan recently. As we all know YRF is creating the biggest spy franchise in the history of Indian cinema, and SRK and Salman will appear in each other’s films. Since Salman was coming to the studio, the team planned the puja on the same day and also invited Katrina for the same. Maneesh and Emraan too were part of this puja.” The source further said, “On its 50th year, YRF is rolling out the biggest films being made in Bollywood or the Indian film industry today. ‘Tiger 3’ is being mounted on a scale that has not been seen before and so is ‘Pathan’.”
“It is going to be an incredibly visual and entertaining extravaganza for audiences when these films will release in theatres. The energy was palpable during the puja. All the cast members were thrilled to be taking the story forward of the ‘Tiger’ franchise. They spent a good one hour with each other before Salman went to shoot for ‘Pathan’,” the source added.
The upcoming film will mark Emraan’s maiden collaboration with YRF. The actor is set to play a villain in the movie. ‘Tiger 3’ will have Salman reprise his role of R&AW (Research & Analysis Wing) agent Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger, while Katrina will be seen playing the female lead.
