Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif star in the romantic thriller, 'Ek Tha Tiger'. The movie is directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Aditya Chopra. The story is by Aditya Chopra and Kabir Khan and Neelesh Misra have written the screenplay & dialogues. Pritam will compose the music. 'Ek Tha Tiger' is slated for a mid-2012 release.
Salman Khan was honoured to be working with YRF for the first time. He said, "In the past Adi and I have met a few times on various projects but somehow, when Kabir and he came to me with this particular story, we all just knew that this was the one. It is a very ambitious project and will be a challenge for all of us, but that's exactly what makes it such a big draw. Above all this, I'm honoured to be working with Yashji, who has worked so closely with my Dad in the past."
Yash Chopra, speaking about the project, said it was a very happy moment for him. "Everyone knows my association with Salim saab, having worked together on DEEWAAR, TRISHUL and KAALA PATTHAR. It is a very happy moment for me and YRF, to have Salim saab’s Salman Khan with us for the first time. Over the years, Salman has become a very matured and talented actor and both he and the beautiful Katrina have a tremendous connect with their audiences. Combined with Kabir's edgy directorial skills, we can all look forward to a thrilling film. I really loved the script which is based on a story written by Adi and I am sure that the whole team will do an excellent job on this project."
Ek Tha Tiger brings together a very exciting jodi of Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan.
The director Kabir Khan is known for his more serious work in Kabul Express and New York, but for Ek Tha Tiger he says he is going in a different direction. “While Kabul Express and New York had to be narrated in a certain style, they couldn’t have been flamboyant or over stated. I think I can afford to do that in Ek Tha Tiger. It is not just the starcast but also the story, which is larger than life. The subject demands that the story telling is flamboyant here.
