Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 24 (Morning Tidings): Actors Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are among the most loved Bollywood on-screen pairings.
The duo has worked in several films such as ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’, ‘Bharat’, ‘Yuvvraaj’, ‘Partner’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, and the recently released action thriller film ‘Tiger 3’.
On the on-screen chemistry with Katrina, the ‘Dabangg’ actor told Morning Tidings, “I liked the characters of Tiger and Zoya very much. I believe the same chemistry wasn’t there in the earlier movies that we did together. Though viewers were fond of our on-screen pairing, we didn’t have chemistry till the ‘Tiger’ franchise came along. We did a film called ‘Yuvvraaj’ in which there wasn’t much chemistry on show. Thereafter, we did the ‘Tiger’ franchise in which there was a lot of chemistry as our characters were sketched very well. So the chemistry you see is not the Salman-Katrina chemistry but Tiger and Zoya’s chemistry.”
‘Tiger 3’ has minted Rs 400.50 crores gross worldwide in just 10 days of its release.
The third instalment of the ‘Tiger’ franchise is a part of the YRF Spy Universe with the likes of ‘War’ and ‘Pathaan’.

The film also has a cameo appearance by Shah Rukh Khan and a post-credit scene featuring Hrithik Roshan. Just like the two previous installments — ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ — the film focuses on a new mission involving RA&W agent Tiger (Salman) and ISI agent Zoya (Katrina Kaif).
‘Ek Tha Tiger’, which was released in 2012, was directed by Kabir Khan. In 2017, the franchise came up with a sequel titled ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.
The sequel was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
Salman, meanwhile, has still not announced his next project.
Katrina, on the other hand, will be next seen in the thriller film ‘Merry Christmas’ alongside Vijay Sethupathi. (Morning Tidings)
