‘Tiger 3’, fronted by Kaif and Salman Khan, has collected Rs 324 crore at the worldwide box office; the Maneesh Sharma-directorial is part of Yash Raj Films’ spy universe
As Tiger 3emerges as a record-setting film for Katrina Kaif, the actor says she has discussed the possibility of a full-length film centering on her spy character of Zoya with YRF boss Aditya Chopra.
Tiger 3, a follow-up to Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), sees Katrina returning as former ISI agent Zoya alongside Salman Khan's super spy Avinash Singh Rathore. The Maneesh Sharma-directorial is a part of Yash Raj Films' spy universe and is set after the events of studio's January release Pathaan.
“Me and Adi (Chopra) have had so many discussions on it. Once a week, I’ll find him and be like, ‘Adi what do you think about this, what do you think about that’. So, that dialogue is always open.
"We have been working for quite a few years and have these conversations. Even before Adi was working on Pathaan, we used to discuss this character and that character,” the actor told PTI in an interview.
Katrina said the spy universe, which also includes Hrithik Roshan's War, is turning out to be a well-defined franchise.
"Each character is strong, well-written, well-defined and that’s what is beautiful about it. Every character is strong and unique, and you can bring the characters into each other’s worlds... It adds to the whole story and picture,” she added.
Tiger 3 was released on November 12 on the occasion of Diwali in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The film, also starring Emraan Hashmi, has collected Rs 324 crore gross at the worldwide box office.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
