Salman Khan on Tiger 3’s successful run: “It’s a brand that will always make my filmography shine brighter”

Salman Khan, one of the towering figures in Hindi cinema, expresses immense joy as he embarks on yet another triumph with Tiger 3, a cinematic marvel within the YRF Spy Universe. Poised to reach the remarkable milestone of 400 crores globally, the film is poised to become the biggest Diwali hit in the annals of Hindi cinema.

In Salman's words, “Three Tiger films, three success stories. The Tiger franchise sits dearly in my heart, and I’m glad that it has also found its place in the hearts of the audience. Tiger franchise is one of my most loved and is definitely a legacy brand that will always make my filmography shine brighter.”

He didn’t expect his first Tiger film to pave the path for not only a blockbuster Tiger franchise but also create the stepping stone for the fabled YRF Spy Universe which has only delivered hits. 

Salman says, “When I was doing Ek Tha Tiger, I had no idea that we will have a sequel, forget about the fact that we now have a threequel in Tiger 3. It’s now a franchise on its own entertaining audiences worldwide since 2012. The proof of the success for any film or a franchise is in the success story it scripts.”

He adds, “I think the Tiger franchise has given audiences a desi spy like no other that people have showered heaps of love on. I have lived and breathed Tiger and I thank everyone for their warmth and appreciation for me and the films.”

Produced under the astute guidance of Aditya Chopra and skillfully directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 continues to thrive in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, showcasing its universal appeal. Salman Khan's journey with the Tiger franchise exemplifies not only the triumph of individual films but also the creation of a cinematic legacy that transcends boundaries and time, leaving an indelible mark on the history of Indian cinema.
