Action
Key to 'Tiger 3's success might lie in action
Much of Tiger 3's allure comes from the high-octane action sequences featured in the trailer. Sharma teased, "Around 50-60% of [Tiger 3] are action sequences of great scale, and we wanted to just give you a small peek into what you can expect (in the trailer)." "We want that surprise and the euphoria you feel when you're watching something you didn't even expect!"
On anticipation
Film to give opportunity for people to 'gasp and whistle'
Sharma added that the most "exciting sequences" have been reserved for the film and will allow the viewers to "gasp and whistle and scream in the halls." "We want [the audience] to have a Diwali Dhamaaka this year when Tiger 3 comes roaring into cinemas. If we can do that, well, that's what will give the team the most joy!" said the director.
