Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Tiger 3 has made multiple records at the box-office ever since its release on Diwali on November 12. Also, with the film, Salman gave the seventeenth consecutive 100 crore club film at the domestic box office, which is the highest for any Indian superstar. And Yash Raj Films’ 100% success rate with the spy universe is also intact (Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan).
The film has made Rs 447 crore globally and is on its way to be a massive hit.
Salman Khan on Tiger 3 success
Salman Khan says, “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 by Aditya Chopra & directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 is running successfully in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu.
