Tiger 3: Delhi schedule of Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer postponed due to rise in COVID-19 cases
According to reports, Yash Raj Films has decided to postpone the Delhi schedule of their much-anticipated film Tiger 3. The espionage thriller, directed by Maneesh Sharma, stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in lead roles.
After filming across various locations around the world, the team was gearing up to shoot an important schedule in New Delhi in mid-January and that would have largely seen the actors wrap the principal shooting. However, the sudden increase in COVID-19 cases coupled with the Omicron threat threw a wrench into the works.
“The time is not conducive to planning big outdoor schedules. The Omicron threat is real and it is only wise that the makers are choosing to be cautious at this sensitive time. The intense 15-day schedule, which was expected to begin on January 12, stands postponed as of now, given the surge of coronavirus cases across India, including New Delhi. This schedule will now be planned and executed at a later stage,” reveals a trade source.
The source goes on to add, “Tiger 3 team has visited several cities across the world as Tiger and Zoya are on their most deadly mission yet in the third installment of this action spectacle franchise. The entire team needs a special round of applause for leaving no stone unturned for brilliantly completing challenging shoot schedules during the pandemic because of the scale that director Maneesh Sharma and YRF wanted to achieve. So, if they have decided to postpone the Delhi schedule, it is definitely a very well-thought-out decision from the production house.”
For the uninitiated, Tiger 3 marks the third installment of Yash Raj Films’ successful franchise Tiger.
