I’m really proud of the Tiger franchise!’ : Salman Khan on the internet-smashing worldwide appreciation for Tiger Ka Message

By Irbaaz Ansari THDLIVE

One of the biggest superstars to have ever graced the big screen, Salman Khan is elated with the response that the first video asset – Tiger Ka Message – from Tiger 3 is getting from audiences worldwide!

Yash Raj Films released Tiger Ka Message on Wednesday, a video that is a precursor to the trailer of Tiger 3, and it was an instant blockbuster on the internet! YRF tries to push the envelope when it comes to marketing of its films and for Tiger Ka Message, the company allowed people to post the video on their Instagram pages for maximum reach of the asset – a move that has never happened in the industry that only measures YouTube views as a benchmark.

By doing this, the potential reach of the Tiger 3 asset stands at 700 million which is why it broke the internet across several countries yesterday!

Salman says, “I’m really proud of the Tiger franchise. Tiger has got unanimous love and support from not only my fans but also from the audience across the world for over 10 years now! I’m really humbled that my character has resonated with so many people globally.”

He adds, “When we started discussing the marketing plan for Tiger 3, we thought why don’t we do a hat-tip to the nostalgia that this franchise holds in the hearts of the people. Tiger Ka Message is just that. If you see the video, it is mixed with footage from the past two films Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai. It talks about how Tiger has given his all for India and even risked his life and his family for his country.”

He further says, “This was deliberately done to tell people what Tiger, the character, and the franchise stands for. He is a selfless agent. I’m really happy that people have given us so much love at the start of our campaign and I can’t wait to show you the trailer now!”

Salman Khan is back to reprise his much-loved role as super agent Tiger aka Avinash Singh Rathore in Yash Raj Films’ Tiger 3. Tiger 3 is set to release on the big Diwali holiday window this year!

In Tiger Ka Message, it was revealed that Salman aka Tiger is in peril after being framed as Enemy Number 1 of India. This video sets up the plot of the film that will show how Tiger goes on a life-threatening mission to hunt down his enemies in this vengeful action entertainer. Tiger wants to clear his name for his country, for his family and he won’t stop at nothing!

Tiger 3 has been directed by YRF’s homegrown film-maker Maneesh Sharma.

I take time off my calendar to engage with aspiring creative minds!’ : Tahir Raj Bhasintake time off my calendar to engage with aspiring creative minds!’ : Tahir Raj Bhasin

By Irbaaz Ansari

Not many know this but actor Tahir Raj Bhasin takes time off from his calendar to meet and interact with film students across the country through the year!

He explains, “When I’m not shooting, I’m looking forward to every opportunity to meet and interact with film students. I love the energy and the ambition that they have and the zest they bring to the table wanting to disrupt and push the cinematic envelope of our country.”

Tahir adds, “Having been in the industry for sometime now, I would love to give youngsters all the knowledge that I have accumulated so that they could benefit from it. If my experience aids them even 1 percent in shaping their career in the movie industry, I would be happy. As a human being, I believe that knowledge is meant to be shared. It only grows and evolves when it’s shared and discussed with like-minded people.”

Tahir is a total outsider to Bollywood who has carved a niche for himself because of his brilliant acting talent. He says, “I really love to meet the next generation of actors, directors and technicians because they have so many ideas to share. I ensure I take time off my calendar to engage with them creatively just like what I have done recently for a batch of students for an FTII course in Ladakh!”

Tahir adds, “I have been blessed to have found seniors who have guided me in this industry. I had zero connections. I’m not from any film family. And these connections made me thrive and navigate the film industry. I want to do the same for those looking to work in our beautiful film fraternity. Who knows they might end up directing me or working with me! That would be really special!”
