Vishal Jethwa was also able to leave an impact despite limited screen time. In a recent interview, the young actor revealed that he fumbled lines during scenes with Khan.

In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Tiger 3 actor Vishal Jethwa spoke about his experience of working with Salman Khan and praised him. He said, "I will always take pride in saying that I have worked with Salman Khan. I like him not only on-screen, but off-screen as well."

The actor further revealed that he fumbled during scenes with Khan. "I never fumbled in Mardaani 3, but when it came to working with Salman, I couldn't say a dialogue. But he was very calm despite multiple retakes. He is well-versed about the aura he carries and thus he was like, 'Hota hai' (it happens).' Eventually, I got better and also had small conversations with him. I also shot for a fight sequence with him but it couldn't be included in the final cut of the film."

In an earlier post, Vishal revealed that he started as a background dancer for Salman as a kid in 2009 and was grateful to work with him after so many years. The actor had received praise for portraying the antagonist in Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 2.

Tiger 3 is directed by Maneesh Sharma and backed by Aditya Chopra. The film is a part of the YRF spy universe and follows the events after Tiger Zinda Hai, War and Pathaan. Upon its release on Diwali, the film turned out to be a major critical and commercial success.

The first film in the franchise was Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger which was released in 2011. Its success prompted a sequel titled Tiger Zinda Hai which was helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Since then, films like Pathaan and War have been included in the much larger spy universe.
