Tiger 3 fan event: Salman Khan AMAZED with HISTORIC collections on Diwali day: “It released on the Diwali day and yet collected Rs. 43 crores. Koi ghar pe family ke saath baith ke pooja paath kar raha tha ki nahin kar raha tha?”

The Diwali release Tiger 3 had a superb opening, bringing cheer to the industry. The actors of the film – Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi – came out to promote the film on Friday, November 17. They interacted with fans at a screening of the film held at a multiplex in Mumbai. Salman Khan was in his element as he raised laughs with his statements.

Salman began by saying, “Bahut acchi baat hai ki aap sab ko yeh film acchi lagi. It’s also heartening that you are all here and will watch the film (after this event). I was wondering ‘Itne saare log (hai yahaan). Fir theatres mein kaun hai?’. Who’s paying and going for the film then?”

He then mentioned the ICC Cricket World Cup, “It’s amazing because even the World Cup is going on. India dhada dhad maare jaa raha tha. India has won every game. And this is when we arrived with Tiger 3. Hence, our collections are very good. Inshallah, India will win the finals and then, everyone will be in cinemas (to watch Tiger 3).”

He added, “Cricket is anyway a religion in this country. Is there anyone who doesn’t watch cricket? Except me? (smiles)!”

Apart from the World Cup, Tiger 3 also braved the Diwali holiday. The norm is to release the film a day after Diwali. Tiger 3, however, came on the day of the Festival of Lights and shocked the industry as it collected Rs. 44.50 crores. On this, Salman Khan joked, “It released on the Diwali day and yet collected Rs. 43 crores. Koi ghar pe family ke saath baith ke pooja paath kar raha tha ki nahin kar raha tha?”

Besides Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, Tiger 3 also starred Shah Rukh Khan in a special appearance. It was directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF).
