The villain in the film "Tiger 3" has officially been revealed with its first trailer. Rife amongst the anticipation of this film was the thought that the antagonist would probably be seen at the cinemas, after the movie's release. However, the confirmation that everyone was waiting for, was revealed in the trailer when Emraan Hashmi appeared as the villain in a fresh look involving a beard with a white streak.

Tiger equals seeing Salman Khan on the silver screen. The moniker became his since the massive successes of the movies "Ek Tha Tiger" (2012) and "Tiger Zinda Hai" (2017). "Tiger 3" is the third instalment of this franchise with Khan playing the titular role, and Katrina Kaif as the female lead Zoya.

Emraan's monologue served as the auditory background of the "Tiger 3" trailer as he said, "The most precious asset in every man's life is his family. You took that away from me, Tiger. Now it's my turn. This time you will lose, your family, your country, everything. This is my promise and I never break my promise."

"Now the calculation is easy. Either you save your country or your family," he added to give Tiger an ultimatum.

Salman Khan's dialogue as Tiger made it clear that his mission this time was not only for his country but also to save his family. He told fellow agents, "It's not for RAW (Research and Analysis Wing of India's external intelligence agency), it's personal."

The trailer, which is about three minutes long, was unveiled on Monday. Similar to the previous movies in the spy universe, there will be plenty of action and mayhem in "Tiger 3". Bollywood analysts expect it to be a proper Salman Khan comeback for his fans. 

"Tiger 3" is the fifth movie in the spy universe, created by the production company Yash Raj Films. It is directed by Maneesh Sharma. Other actors including Ridhi Dogra, Kumud Mishra Ranvir Shorey, and many more are set to appear in the film. Besides this, Shahrukh Khan will appear in a surprise guest role as Pathaan. 

The film will be released worldwide on November 12.
