Maneesh Sharma, best known for YRF titles "Fan" and "Band Baaja Baaraat", serves as director on "Tiger 3".

"Ek Tha Tiger", the first movie in the franchise was released in 2012. Directed by Kabir Khan, the movie revolved around the story of an Indian spy (RAW) code-named Tiger (Khan) who falls in love with a Pakistani spy Zoya (Kaif) during an investigation.

The success of the first film spawned into a franchise, in which "Tiger Zinda Hai" (2017) was the follow-up.

Based on true events, the Ali Abbas Zafar-helmed sequel saw Tiger and Zoya go on a mission to save a group of hostages held by a militant terrorist organization in Iraq.
