What better day to announce the release date of Tiger 3 than the day 'Ek Tha Tiger' completes 10 years? On August 15, Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan took to social media to mark the 10th anniversary of their superhit 'Ek Tha Tiger'.

The film, helmed by Kabir Khan, was an espionage drama featuring Khan and Kaif in lead roles. It had released on August 15 2012 and was a blockbuster of the year.

Now, the makers are coming back with 'Tiger 3'- the third film in the franchise. On Monday, Khan announced the film's release date- which will be an Eid release and hit theatres on April 21, 2023.
