The news was revealed by a source, who also divulged that Salman and his film's co-lead Katrina Kaif will wrap the last big outdoor schedule of the movie in New Delhi from February 14 onwards.

The lead stars "will most probably be travelling to Delhi on the morning of February 12 or 13," the source further informed. The source added, "There they will be filming for around 10-12 days."

This outdoor schedule has been possible as the Omicron wave seems to be subsiding across the country. However, strict protocols will still be followed by the makers.

Earlier, the Delhi schedule was expected to commence on January 12 but it was later postponed, given the surge of COVID cases across India, including the national capital.

The upcoming action thriller has been majorly shot across several countries including Turkey, Russia and Austria. Helmed by Maneesh Sharma, the movie also stars Emraan Hashmi.

'Tiger 3' will have Salman reprise his role of R&AW (Research & Analysis Wing) agent Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger, while Katrina will be seen playing the female lead, Zoya.
