In a statement, Maneesh revealed Salman's entry scene will be an iconic one and the duration of the same will be 10 minutes. He said, "Salman Khan has given us countless memorable intro sequences, It's one of those iconic moments that Salman fans and Hindi film lovers wait for. And his entry as Tiger in the previous instalments has been mind-blowing! So, it was imperative that we devised something unique, true to Salman Khan's style and yet make it out of this world as an action spectacle for his entry in Tiger 3."

He added, "Bunch of talented and enthusiastic minds - Some of our best action, stunts, grips and effects people came together to craft a 10-minute block that does justice to Tiger's entry. An entry that does Tiger justice. This intro sequence is a highlight of the film and includes an exciting action sequence that reminds Bhai's fans exactly how cool Tiger is."

Owing to the massive demand for Tiger 3, several theatres will be running 24x7. New Delhi and the Middle East will be the first ones to play the movie round the clock.
