Principal photography began on 12 September 2019 in Mumbai. 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. The action sequences were handled by Ram-Lakshman and Kecha Khamphakdee.
Baaghi 3 was theatrically released on 6 March 2020 to mixed reviews from critics with praise for its acting, action sequences and cinematography, but was criticized for 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 estimated ₹137.05 crore (US$17 million) worldwide gross from ₹111.15 crore (US$14 million) domestically in India and ₹25.9 crore (US$3.2 million) internationally. There were plans for a re-release once the outbreak would end, but the makers instead decided to release the film on Disney+ Hotstar.
