The film “Tiger 3,” starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi, is now available on OTT for Pakistani viewers, as reported by The Indian Express. Yash Raj Films, the renowned production house, announced the digital premiere on their social media handles, stating, “Action Mode: Activated. Tiger 3 on Prime Video.”
Directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 was released on Diwali 2023 and is the fifth installment in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe, following Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, and Pathaan. Salman Khan shared the news on social media, expressing, “Locked, loaded and ready! Tiger is coming.”

The film revolves around the main characters Tiger (Salman Khan), his partner Zoya (Katrina Kaif), and the antagonist Aatish Rehman (Emraan Hashmi). Shah Rukh Khan also makes a cameo, reprising his role as Pathaan. Tiger 3 earned INR 3.39 billion in India and INR 4.64 billion globally.
Despite a strong start during the holiday period, mixed reactions and the 2023 ICC World Cup impacted its chances of reaching the INR 5 billion global mark. Nevertheless, it became director Maneesh Sharma and Emraan Hashmi’s highest-grossing film and the second-highest for Katrina Kaif worldwide. According to Sacnilk, it also ranked as the fourth highest-grossing film for Salman Khan globally.
Salman Khan expressed gratitude to his fans, saying, “It is quite amazing that two of my most loved characters Prem and Tiger have entertained people so much on Diwali! As an actor, I have only looked to create memories for people through my brand of cinema, and I’m fortunate that they have loved me back.”
However, not everyone shares the excitement surrounding the film. Indian actor and critic Kamaal Rashid Khan (KRK) criticized “Tiger 3” for making Pakistan the central focus of the plot. KRK took to social media to express his displeasure, addressing producer Aditya Chopra and suggesting that if a film focused on politics and the situation in Pakistan was desired, it should have been a Pakistani film, not a Hindi one.
