The publication also quoted a trade source who revealed that the current scenario is not the best time to plan big outdoor shooting schedules for the filmmakers. The source said, "It's a well-thought-out decision by Adi, Maneesh and the team. The portions in question will be shot at real locations. Since the Omicron threat is looming, the makers are choosing to be cautious. While [other] challenging schedules were completed through the pandemic, the team doesn't want to take any unnecessary risk [now]."

The source went on to say that the January schedule of Tiger 3 was an important one for the makers. Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif shooting for the same would have ensured the completion of the movie. This has also made it dicey whether the spy flick will be able to be released in December 2022, as planned.

Earlier, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif had also shot for the movie in international locations like Russia, Turkey and Austria. It was also earlier reported that the superstar will also be shooting an important sequence with Emraan Hashmi in Mumbai who plays the main antagonist in the film. The reports added that Salman is leaving no stone unturned to make the environment safe for the shoot.
