As per reports, 'Tiger 3' may not release in Oman and Kuwait apparently due to Katrina Kaif's towel scene in the film.
Maneesh Sharma has helmed the third instalment of the 'Tiger' franchise. It also has Emraan Hashmi who is playing the antagonist. Shah Rukh Khan as Pathaan and Hrithik Roshan as Kabir are having cameo appearances.
Rohan Malhotra, Vice President of YRF Distribution, had told ANI about their strategy to release 'Tiger 3' on Diwali. He said, “Whenever we take any decision in a Yash Raj film, we always think 'What effect will this bring on the total final business of the picture?'”

He added, “We have confidence in Salman Khan's stardom. Lakshmi Puja is a day when there are prayers at home. It is time people celebrate festivals with their family. No producer has released a movie on the day of Lakshmi Puja in the last 11 years. We think that there is some part of the population that would want to celebrate Diwali by watching Salman Khan's movie because this is the third part of Tiger movie. The advance booking is huge even on the year's weakest day for the film business.”
