Delay in the Release of the Second Song
Despite fans’ eagerness for more “Tiger 3” songs, there’s a slight delay in the release of the second song, “Ruaan.” Producer Aditya Chopra made the decision to withhold the song’s release to preserve a crucial narrative point and maintain suspense until the film’s theatrical release on November 12, coinciding with Diwali.
Director Maneesh Sharma, discussing the decision, stated, “Tiger and Zoya are on a much more personal and intense journey in this film, and ‘Ruaan’ gives voice to that. The way it’s portrayed in the film, we really wanted to keep such main story plots the way they are meant to be experienced—in the cinema, in the moment.”
He continued, “Knowing that we have this soulful song sung by Arijit Singh, picturized on Salman Khan, and taking a decision to withhold it—it’s been tough! But we know that at the end, when you hear ‘Ruaan’ in the context of the story, you will know that we did the right thing! We feel it is a huge, huge moment, and it will add to the excitement around ‘Tiger 3’ on release day.”
Salman and Katrina Return as Tiger and Zoya
In “Tiger 3,” Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reprise their iconic roles as super spies Tiger and Zoya in the YRF Spy Universe. This film marks the fifth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, following the success of “Ek Tha Tiger,” “Tiger Zinda Hai,” “WAR,” and “Pathaan.”
The full version of the enchanting song “Ruaan” is scheduled to be unveiled during the theatrical release of “Tiger 3” on December 12, 2023, making it a cinematic treat fans can look forward to.
