The production of Salman Khan's upcoming film 'Tiger 3' is in full swing as the cast and crew have jetted off to Russia to film for some key scenes. Behind the scenes pics of Salman Khan from the sets had gone viral recently and his heavily bearded and long haired look created excitement among fans. Latest reports suggest that Salman Khan's nephew have also joined the project.

Nirvan Khan, son of Salman's brother Sohail Khan will be working as one of the assistant directors on the film. A source told News 18, "Nirvan is keen to join movies very soon. The 21-year-old has plans to become a director and to learn and get the firsthand experience he decided to come on board as an assistant director. Apart from learning the technical aspects, he is also learning how to set up the scenes, coordinating with all the departments and also in touch with the entire cast.”

The source further added, "It was Salman’s idea to take Nirvan along with him. He felt that the scale of the film along with the ensemble cast and crew would give his nephew a good exposure. He is making sure that Nirvan picks up the right things and learns as much as possible."

'Tiger 3' is being directed by Maneesh Sharma while Aditya Chopra is bankrolling the project.
