Baaghi 3 (transl. Rebel 3) is a 2020 Indian action thriller film directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. The film, which is partially inspired from Tamil film Vettai, stars Tiger Shroff, Riteish Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles.[4] It is the third installment of the Baaghi film series.[5][6] In the film, Ronnie goes to Syria to find his elder brother Vikram, who is kidnapped and held captive by Abu Jalal Gaza, a notorious terrorist.
Principal photography began on 12 September 2019 in Mumbai.[7][8] The makers wanted to shoot in Syria, but Fox Star Studios declined due to safety issues, where sets resembling the Syrian topography were built in Serbia.[9] The action sequences were handled by Ram-Lakshman and Kecha Khamphakdee.[10]
Baaghi 3 was released on 6 March 2020 to mixed reviews from critics with praise for its action sequences and cinematography, but criticised its script and direction. Despite the collections being affected due to COVID-19 pandemic, the film became the second highest grossing Hindi film of 2020 earning ₹137.05 crore (US$16 million) worldwide.[3]
There were plans for a re-release once the outbreak would end, but the makers instead decided to instantly premiere it on Disney+ Hotstar.[11][12]
