The Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer Tiger 3 has been gaining traction since bookings started earlier this month. According to trade circuit projections, Maneesh Sharma’s directorial venture has sold about four lakh tickets for the first day on Sunday. This festival outing is said to be among the top five films of 2023 across national multiplex chains, so far. While Salman and Katrina have collaborated on several films over the years, Tiger 3 marks their first Diwali release together. The superstar, who returns as the super spy Avinash Rathore aka Tiger, considers the film special. Salman says, “It is always special to have a release in Diwali because I have fond memories of how the festival has always blessed me with good luck. As co-stars, Katrina and I have done films that have been loved by many people. So, if we can give them the best Diwali with Tiger 3, we would be humbled.” The leading lady, who reprises her spy character and Tiger’s equal half Zoya, adds, “Diwali has always been a festival all about celebration. For me, it is a festival of togetherness, love, light, celebrating our families, and bonds of friendship. This year’s festival of lights is extra special because I have my first release with Salman in Tiger 3, a film that is about triumph over evil. We look forward to entertaining everyone and adding even more joy and excitement to the festivities.”
