The actor will be seen sharing the screen alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Mouni Roy, Mahima Makwana, Rajeev Khandelwal, Shriya Saran, and Vijay Raaz.

Directed by Mihir Desai and Archit Kumar, Showtime will take you through the journey of the world that stays behind the camera.

With an impressive performance as a villain in Tiger 3, Emraan Hashmi starrer Showtime is highly anticipated. On this note, the much-awaited promo of Showtime will be unveiled on 13 February and the show will begin streaming on Disney+Hotstar from 8 March, 2024.

Emraan says, “It is truly special when a film keeps giving you appreciation and respect again and again. This means that a film has made a place for itself in the books of time. It is really amazing to have got so much love playing an anti-hero in Tiger 3.”

He adds, “I was sold on the idea to play a villain who as much shrewd and cunning as he is powerful enough to take on an iconic hero like Tiger in a hand to hand combat. Aditya Chopra & Maneesh Sharma created a very unique anti-hero archetype for me to play with and make him my own.”

Emraan further says, “I’m delighted that audience gave me love when Tiger 3 released in theatres and the film went on to become a big hit. Now, they are again pouring love on me when Tiger 3 has released on streaming. This is testimony to the fact that the film and its story and its characters have connected to the hearts of audiences.”

Also starring superstars Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif in lead roles, Tiger 3 is the fifth film from YRF Spy Universe, the biggest movie IP of India. All the films from YRF’s spy-verse – Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan & Tiger 3 – have been blockbusters.

Heading yFX is Sherry Bharda, a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, popularly called the Oscars. She is thrilled that YRF has contributed towards bettering the movie-watching experience of audiences globally.

Sherry says, “It has been an exciting year for yFX. We are thrilled that Pathaan and Tiger 3’s VFX has received a lot of love and appreciation from the audience and the film industry. At yFX, we are constantly trying to push the envelope to create an immersive movie-watching experience that is spectacular for audiences.”

She adds, “At a time when people want spectacular visual experience from theatricals, we are delighted to have delivered products like Pathaan and Tiger 3 that have become resounding success stories. To do this in a single calendar year, makes us incredibly proud.”

Sherry admits that Indian audiences now want more wow moments from the tentpole theatrical action entertainers our country is making, having being exposed to breathtaking global action films.

She says, “Due to exposure to global cinema, people have become more aware of visual effects. They have understood what it means to see good VFX on screen. So, their expectations from the product today is heightened. We are aware of the euphoria that YRF Spy Universe has for audiences and we wanted to create a breathtaking and unique movie-watching experience for people. We worked with the vision that Aditya Chopra, Siddharth Anand and Maneesh Sharma had for Pathaan and Tiger and we are happy to have created products that have been celebrated globally.”

Netizens, who were spellbound with Tiger 3’s VFX when it hit the theatres last Diwali, are again dissecting and praising the visual effects of the film now that it has released on streaming.

Sherry admits, “We are witnessing a lot of love for Tiger 3’s VFX. We invested a lot of time on the film before the shooting started and hence the process once it went on floors became easier for us. We pre-visualized each and every action scene of Tiger 3 and that has led to the process becoming a lot more efficient.“

She adds, “Tiger 3 is a well-planned film with ample pre-production. The result is there for everyone to see. We are delighted with the reaction that we have got for visual effects in the film.”

Salman says, “The Tiger franchise has got unanimous love right from the first film be it theatrically, on satellite or on streaming! So, it feels amazing to see how the third instalment of Tiger 3 was first a hit in theatres and now on streaming!”

He adds, “I’m in close contact with my audience through my social media and I can see the outpouring of love now that Tiger 3 has dropped on OTT. As an actor my biggest and only job is to entertain people thoroughly and I’m happy that Tiger 3 is being enjoyed by people across the world.”

Salman further says, “Tiger 3 is a film that is very close to my heart. So, it felt extremely personal when it became a hit in theatres and now that it is a hit on streaming within days of its drop. Tiger will always be there to entertain people.”

YRF’s Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi delivered a huge hit at the box office by collecting 472 crore gross worldwide.

Salman Khan has seen ups and downs in his career. Salman Khan was part of films like ‘#KaranArjun’ for which he won Filmfare’s Best Actor Award. ‘#Judwaa’, ‘#PyarKiyaToDarnaKya’, ‘#HumDilDeChukeSanam’, ‘#ChoriChoriChupkeChupke’, ‘#TereNaam’, ‘#MujhseShadiKarogi’, ‘#NoEntry’ are few of his films. After a lull in a career he got a new lease of life with ‘#Wanted’, directed by #Prabhudeva. Salman also starred in ‘#Ready’, #Dabangg’s three instalments, ‘#Tubelight’, ‘#Radhe’, ‘#Antim’, ‘#BajrangiBhaijaan’, ‘#PremRatanDhanPayo’ etc. Salman’s Tiger franchise is one of the most successful franchises and so far it consists of ‘#EkThaTiger’, ‘#TigerZindaHai’ and ‘#Tiger3’. ‘Tiger 3’ was released this Diwali and has become the biggest grosser of Diwali. Our Sr Editor Keerti Kadam met Salman Khan during the success meet and greet of ‘Tiger 3’.

You have tasted success and failures too but have remained grounded throughout. How do you deal with success or failure?
I don’t deal with it. After a film is complete, my job gets over. Then it’s the viewers job to watch the film and decide whether to make it a hit or a flop. If the movie runs successfully, it feels good and it definitely hurts if it doesn’t do well at the box office. But a flop doesn’t crack me. I don’t think much about it because it’s a part of the game. I’ll say that everyone should taste failure so that they can enjoy the taste of success. But if the film doesn’t do well I take the entire responsibility. If a film is a hit then the credit should go to the entire team.

There is a lot of hard work that goes into making a film. Everybody toils to make a good product. Sometimes it may fail. I, as a star, can bring the audiences to the theatre on the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But if the movie holds it’s grounds on Monday then the credit goes to others including the director, script writer, cinematographer etc. But I take flops seriously, in the sense that it teaches me to work doubly hard for the next project. Of course success and failure, both come with a responsibility. In both the cases you need to work harder next time so as not to disappoint your fans and the viewers. Indeed, no one can guarantee success but putting in hard work is in your hands. Retrospection is necessary. When your heart is not in the script or a film then you should not do the film, whatever the reason.

Success should not go to your head. For that matter nothing should go to your head. Everything has it’s expiry date. Even success and failure have it. Hard work is the solution. If your film is successful then you should work hard to offer another good product. If your film flops then, you must put in extra efforts to bounce back. Fans want to enjoy your hard work put in a film.

Some say some of my films were flops. But in actuality, some of my films did not give the expected result. For my fans, I have reduced the ticket prices, i.e. Popular prices and thus the collection numbers were not high. Had I continued with the multiplex’s rates i.e. Blockbuster prices, then there could have been higher numbers. But many are not appreciative enough and want to declare those films as flops. But all my films are at break even points. There are no losses to the producers. If you want I can go only for Blockbuster prices, then you’ll see the blockbuster numbers.

Now, talking of the Tiger franchise’s success, it lies in the vision of the director. ‘Tiger 3’ is written and presented well and it has translated into a good product. ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ was conceptualised and directed by Kabir Khan and it was a huge success. In the second part ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, Ali Abbas Zafar took it to a higher level. Kabir Khan paved the way for the sequel and TZH’s success culminated in ‘Tiger 3’ which is directed by Maneesh Sharma. There could be Tiger’s fourth instalment but nothing is in the pipeline at present. Also there should be a good gap between the two franchise films. ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ was released in 2012 and after 5 years came ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’. ‘Tiger 3’ has recently been released, so it’s 4th part should not be made immediately. Of course, good script is the prime prerequisite. While making ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, we knew that it had the potential to become a successful film. But when it was a super hit then the thought of a sequel popped up.

I am more than happy that ‘Farrey’ which is produced by Salman Khan Films and my niece Alizeh is debuting with it has received good response from the viewers and the critics too. There was or is a perception that only action films are doing well in theatres. But that is not true. Good films are being appreciated by the viewers and I am happy that we produced ‘Farrey’. This film talks about today’s youth’s present rather than their past and future. The problems they are facing while growing up are supposed to be addressed and Farrey does exactly that which is why the youth will relate to this film. It’s a clean film without any action or romance but still it’s a well made film. All the four new actors, including Alizeh, have given super fine performances. More than Tiger’s success I am happy for Alizeh’s film getting good response. I am happy for Alizeh’s parents, my sister Alvira (Khan Agnihotri) and her husband Atul (Agnihotri) too.

I personally like to watch family films. I am fond of Sooraj Barjatya’s films which could be watched with the entire family sitting together. My family is big, around 60-70 people in it. And most of us watch films together. I may have done action, romance on screen but I prefer watching the genre which makes no one cringe while watching it with family.

Shah Rukh Khan and you have been featuring in each other’s films and it’s been the high point of the respective films too.
Frankly Shah Rukh and I are great friends. Our bonding and chemistry off screen is tremendous and that translates on screen too. That’s the reason people say that we have a great chemistry on screen. A lot of people have communicated that our eyes talk while performing on screen. That’s true in the sense that we know each other so well that we do not need words to express ourselves. ‘Isharo Isahron me kaam ho jata hai’. I have a similar connect with Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) too. Even if we are at the far end of a room, the eye contact conveys a lot more to each one of us. And when you have a great bonding with someone, it is bound to be noticed on screen too.

A lot of people ask me about the interactions we do on screen, especially in ‘Pathaan’. Of course the dialogues are written in advance and we do a little bit of improvisation. There were reports that Karan Arjun are back. Of course they are back, with a bang. I have been doing two hero, three hero films throughout my career. I think my generation of actors are secure enough to do multi starrer. But the same can not be said about today’s actors. They seem to be averse to doing two hero films. If there is a two hero film, then the fans watching the movie doubles which benefits the movie’s collections. If the younger lot doesn’t understand this, let us do the multi-starrers.

You have played Prem, Chulbul Pandey, Tiger etc in your films multiple times. Which character is your own favourite?
Prem. Mainly because with Prem my career commenced and it was well appreciated by people. I have successfully portrayed different people in other franchise films. Chulbul Pandey and Tiger are my favourites too. Each character has it’s special qualities and I have enjoyed playing all of them. Tiger series is YRF’s spy universe. It all started with ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and am happy that I am kind of a pioneer of this spy universe. Given a choice, I’ll like to start my own universe. I would like to take my other characters from other films further, viz. Devil from Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, Radhe and of course Chulbul Pandey and Prem. I am fortunate to have played those characters. But ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ being my first film, Prem is closet to my heart. Your first film is always special. Your first role is very close to your heart.

You produced ‘Farrey’. Was it a launch pad for Alizeh?
No. Absolutely not. The script came to us first and after narration we decided to produce it. Then the process started to hunt four young actors. After a while we thought of casting Alizeh but she was reluctant as she wanted to debut with some other film. We somehow convinced her to do the role and that’s how she became a part of this movie. Alizeh is an extremely hard working kid and it shows on screen. She is a team player and has a special quality of taking everybody along.

We had planned a photo shoot for Alizeh, but she insisted that the other three lead actors from the film, Prasanna Bisht, Sahil Mehta and Zeyn Shaw, should also be there. In poster too, she wanted all four actors to be in the forefront. She visited the Bigg Boss set along with the other three. On the India TV show too she tagged everyone along. So, she is a supremely secure actor and even I was not that secure during my first film (Laughs).

There was an incident of burning crackers inside the theatres during Tiger 3 show…
I am totally against it. I do not respect these kind of people. Even if it was Diwali time, bursting crackers inside theatres is a big No No. Viewers, fans should show some restraint. They should not go overboard and put people’s lives in danger. Bursting crackers can start a fire and it’ll jeopardise the property and harm human lives. It’s not cool. Moreover it scares the family crowd to enter theatres. Moreover, do not, I repeat, do not pour milk on my cutouts. It’s a wastage of money. Instead use that money to feed poor people. Their blessings will come in handy for the future.

Your walk has been liked by many. They say it’s a superstar’s walk…
I am not a superstar. The way I dress, the way I interact, I don’t think I am a superstar. Superstar is a person who thinks he is a superstar in his mind. But I don’t have that misconception. I am a normal, average Bandra Boy. I know only about this field and want to utilise that knowledge to make the product better. But I never become complacent and work twice harder always. Importantly I do not compete with others. I compete with myself.

Talking about the walk, I have the same walking style since childhood. I have been walking the same, only now, there is an addition of about 25-30 kilos of muscles on my body. I can’t help it as it’s my normal gait. Yes, some people think that this has developed after my films started doing Rs 400-500 Cr business. But that is not true. But the truth is that quite a few people think that there’s an arrogance in my walk. Again, it’s not true. I have always admired the walks of Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Shatrughan Sinha etc. And maybe my walk is collectively inspired from all these superstars.

In ‘Tiger 3’, Emraan Hashmi played the antagonist. How was it working with him?
I have always liked him, as an actor and as a person too. But I was happy that he did not get to kiss in this movie (Laughs). He was amazing in ‘Tiger 3’. It’s difficult to match up to Tiger, but Emraan was equally good. He has given his best. And the best part was we were not competing with but complimenting each other’s roles.

…And Katrina?
Katrina is one of the most hard working actors I have come across. From not knowing the Hindi language to now talking fluently in it, is an achievement. And it wouldn’t have happened if she had not put in hard work. She was not a great dancer. Again she worked so hard that now she is one of the finest dancers Bollywood has. In the Tiger franchise, what is more appreciated is the family life of Tiger and Zoya. Both are passionate about their jobs and still lead a peaceful and romantic married life. Viewers have loved the Tiger-Zoya chemistry. In fact the Tiger-Zoya jodi is an ideal couple for quite a few married couples.

This is the benchmark that Salman Khan has set for himself in the industry. Every time a Salman Khan-starrer film opens up on the big screen, the audience has massive expectations from every film and Tiger 3 is on the same lines which has been loved by the fans and the audiences for the action sequences, Salman Khan’s performance.

This is the stardom of Salman Khan that makes him stand in a completely big league where there is no competition. In the last few years, several stars released their films on the occasion of Diwali, but many of them failed to cross certain numbers. While Shah Rukh Khan starrer Ra. One which was released in Diwali 2011, raked 114 crores at the box office, Aamir Khan starrer Thugs Of Hindostan collected 150 crores at the domestic box office, Ajay Devgn’s comedy entertainer Golmaal Again had a lifetime of 200+ crores at the domestic box office, it was Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, which despite being released on Diwali day, made the festival commercially viable for the big films to release. On the other hand, Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 opened at 44.50 Cr. and earned a lifetime collection of around 500 Cr. at the global box office. Just like he has made Eid synonyms for the film release, the superstar of the nation has paved the path for other filmmakers and actors to bring their films to the festive season.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan, who was recently seen in Tiger 3, has an interesting line-up for his future releases, which includes a film with Karan Johar Productions, which will be announced by the superstar soon.

The box office triumph of Tiger 3 doesn’t restrict itself to this only; continuing the exceptional journey at the box office, Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 also becomes the fourth Bollywood film to make a huge amount of 450 crores at the global box office, and looking at the phenomenal speed with which it is moving, it is easy to say that the actioner is ready to pass 500 crores at the worldwide box office. Also, with Tiger 3, Salman Khan gave the seventeenth consecutive 100 crore club film at the domestic box office, which is the highest for any Indian superstar.

Tiger 3, which is the third installment in the ‘Tiger’ series and the fifth film in YRF’s Spy Universe, has opened to a phenomenon response everywhere, and it has also maintained the 100% track record of success of the Spy Universe as all the films in the universe went on to collect 450 crores at the global box office.

Throwing light on the same, a renowned trade analyst said,

“#Tiger3 is crossing 450 crores today. The film has collected double the amount at the global box office than its budget of 225 crores, as per #YRF. #YRFSpyUniverse is going to continue bringing in more films!

The #SalmanKhan starrer will soon enter the 500 crore club worldwide and then add some more on its lifetime run.”

Throwing light on the success of the film, Salman Khan said, “I am thankful to the fans and the audiences who have always loved the Tiger franchise and have showered Tiger 3 massive love. Thankful to God and everyone for the love we are receiving for the film.”

The film, despite being a Diwali day release, sent a wave of surprise in the industry as it raked in 44.50 crores on the opening day, and with each day from the release, the box office game for the film continued as it accounted for 425 crores plus on the global box office and is still going strong.

The Salman Khan starrer has been loved unanimously by the fans and the audiences, and it has entered ‘Super Hit status” at the box office. The audiences loved Salman Khan in the character of Tiger, and in the action and emotions, he delivered his best performance after Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

The action film Tige 3 features Salman Khan alongside Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, and the film, helmed by filmmaker Maneesh Sharma, was released in cinemas on November 12, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The superhit verdict has been given by trade and box office web platforms.
