Tiger 3: Vaibhavi Merchant on Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in ‘Leke Prabhu Ka Naam’: “There is great respect, love, and adulation for each other’s work”

Vaibhavi reveals, “The intent is always to do justice to the song given, so, of course, it is also a franchise, and I have been a part of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, and now Tiger 3, so the expectation is always to do better. Yes, the intention was to do better, bigger, and more in line with the theme of the film - that Tiger is back with Zoya, and now this time they are heating things up onscreen, sizzling – catering to their fans and for everyone to come in and groove with it.”

Ask Vaibhavi what is it about Salman and Katrina that people love seeing them dance together and she says, “I think their chemistry, camaraderie, and the ease with which they hold the frame. With Salman, you are already on the upswing because the moment you bring him in front of the camera, half the battle is won because he is so good-looking. He is such a handsome man and you can shoot him from whichever angle, and he is going to look the best.”

She adds, “With Katrina, of course, she comes alive on camera. Otherwise, she is such a simple girl. She would rather sit in her pyjamas or her comfort wear than do all of this, but then she makes the effort. She is very particular about what she is putting out there from her accessories, shoes, and all of that. So when she comes on screen, she is then Katrina Kaif!“

Vaibhavi further says, “They are comfortable with me. I am comfortable with them. They are comfortable with each other, and the audiences are comfortable looking at them, and they love looking at them. They love watching them together. They are two very good-looking people. I feel when there are two very good-looking people together, half the battle is won. Their fans adore their pairing and their fans adore their chemistry together on screen, and there is great respect, love, and adulation for each other’s work and each other as people.”

'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' (Hindi version) has been sung by Arijit Singh and Nikhita Gandhi! The Tamil and Telugu version has been sung by Benny Dayal and Anusha Mani.

Directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 is set to release on Diwali, Sunday, 12th November.
