Facts To Know Before Tiger's Roar

Finally after a long wait Tiger is all set to rock the BO. This much awaited spy-tale is already a talk of the town and tickets have already vanished from the ticket window of the cinema halls.

So before the the Tiger makes a roaring entry at theatres, let's have a look at some of the interesting facts pertaining to this action packed cine cantata.

Ra.One's Loss Bodyguards Gain

It won't be wrong to call, Ek Tha Tiger, as Salman's debut flick with YRF banner, with whom Sallu Miya will be working for the first time after his 24 year long stint in Bollywood.

Reports suggest that YRF's pet lover boy, SRK was the first choice to play Tiger, but keeping in view the persona and soul of the character, YRF decided to go ahead with Sallu.

Biggest Ever Production of YRF

Besides being Salman's dream project, Ek Tha Tiger is also the most expensive film ever made by YRF banner with an approximate budget of around Rs 70-80 Cr.

Gravity Defying Action

For animating those larger than life gravity defying actions which Salman is performing in Ek Tha Tiger, Hollywood's stunt maestro Conrad Palmisno was roped in by the makers.

In the movie, Salman will be showcasing his Parkour skills which he performed under the tutelage of Conard, who also pushed Kat into the action mode.

Tiger Vs Black Tiger

When Ek Tha Tiger was conceptualised, it was speculated by many that the story of the movie is based upon the life of a RAW Agent, (late) Ravindra Kaushik who was given 'Black Tiger' reward by Indian government.

In 1983 Ravinder was caught and imprisoned at Mianwali by Pakistan for spying. If reports are to be believed, then nephew of Kaushik slapped a legal notice on the makers of Ek Tha Tiger, but the director Kabir Khan denied any such resemblance of celluloid Tiger with Black Tiger.

Kat's 100 Cr Aspirations

Besides Salman and YRF, Ek Tha Tiger worth a lot for Kat also, because despite churning out a volley of hits, Kat is yet to taste 100 crore candy. Therefore, Kat also has high hopes with Ek Tha Tiger.

Skimpy Cloths a Bete Noire for Tiger

Many of Salman's fans may get surprised to know that tiny-miny clothing are an absolute bete noire for our very own Dabangg, who is quite particular about getting his things his way.

If reports are to be believed then Kabir had to tweak a scenes for Sallu, where Katrina had to let go of a dress during the shooting of 'Mashallah'. Why?

Obviously because Sallu Bhaijaan found it too skimpy.

SRK and Aamir Goes Gaga Over Sallu

Besides Salman fans who are rooting for Ek Tha Tiger, even the other Khan titans of Bollywood are also going gaga over the Sallu and his much awaited action packed bonanza.

Recently on being asked about Ek Tha Tiger, Salman's dear buddy Aamir replied that the film will be a super hit, on the other hand the other Khan titan of B-Town, who too bestowed goodies on Sallu and Kat is, arch rival SRK , who stated that Sallu and Kat make a wonderful couple.

Breaking Aamir's Record

If reports are to be believed then somewhere down the conscious, it's Salman's earnest desire to beat the BO record made by 3 Idiots, which has so far not been broken by any movie.

Buzz about cine trends even suggests that, cine analysts are expecting that Ek Tha Tiger will reach 100 Cr mark within 5 days of its release and may break the BO record Rs 385 Cr set by Aamir's 3 Idiots.

Fourth Consecutive Eid Release

After the remarkable success of his previous releases, Wanted, Dabangg and Bodyguard. Ek Tha Tiger is Salman's fourth consecutive Eid release.

So hopefully history may repeat itself with Ek Tha Tiger too.

The Real Pain

Buzz about the recent promo of Ek Tha Tiger, where Sallu is shown all beaten up suggests that, the sequence turned out to be perfect as Salman was in real pain due to his nerve disorder problem while doing it, which lead to the exhibition of some genuine expressions by Salman.
