Tiger 3: Emraan Hashmi to play villain in Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif’s action film

After the massive success of the first two instalments, the third part of Salman Khan starrer Tiger is finally going on floors. Just like the previous parts, Tiger 3 will reprise Katrina Kaif as the leading lady.

The latest buzz is that the makers were on a look out for a fresh addition to play the baddie in the film. And finally, Yash Raj Films has casted actor Emraan Hashmi to play villain opposite Salman Khan in Tiger 3.

"YRF felt that Emraan fits the role as a T. He is a fine, intense actor and that quality won him the role”, a source confirmed the same to Times of India.

Salman and Katrina will start shooting for the film in March and if reports are to be believed, the film will take off from where Shah Rukh Khan-led 'Pathan' ends. Salman will be seen in a cameo role in the climax scene of Pathan.

While the leading pair of Tiger 3 will kickstart shooting in Mumbai in March, Emraan is also expected to join the team in the same month. The second schedule will be in the Middle East and the third and final schedule is likely to be in Mumbai again.
