The action-thriller, helmed by ‘War’ director Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films, is set to release on January 25, 2023, the team announced with a short teaser on Wednesday.
Salman had shared the news of his cameo on an episode of Bigg Boss 14, which he hosted. “When this show ends, we will move to Pathan, then Tiger 3 and later to Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. And as eight months will pass, we will be anyway back with Bigg Boss season 15,” he had said.
