Emraan Hashmi had a fleeting thought to say no to Tiger 3 initially: “It’s Salman Khan and its Tiger and it’s his brand”

Emraan Hashmi entered the YRF Spy Universe with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger 3 which released on November 12 in the theatres. The actor plays the villain in the movie. When asked recently if there was any kind of insecurity about getting lost in a big movie which also had cameos of Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, Hashmi said that he was never “insecure of not getting my place in the sun”.

Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Emraan said, “There was never a time when I felt insecure of not getting my place in the sun. Aditya Chopra told me that we will reveal you at a time when it’s right.”

He did want to say no to the project as it is Salman Khan’s franchise but all his doubts were cleared when the script was narrated to him. “When I was told that I am being considered for the antagonist in Tiger, there was a fleeting thought that [said] no. Because it’s Salman and it’s Tiger and it’s his brand. But that was only for a fraction of a second. When Maneesh narrated the script and told me about Aatish, I was like this guy is so interesting,” he shared.

He added that Aatish’s backstory was intriguing. He said, “He’s not ruthless and evil for the sake of it.” The actor further said, “I knew when I heard the character arc that this is an interesting guy. Even though it’s Tiger’s story, Aatish’s motivations make a big impact.”

Produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 was released this Diwali, Sunday, November 12 in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu.
