Mega stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif feel the promos of Ek Tha Tiger have been well-appreciated and the expectations are huge

On a muggy August evening, scores of fans in Ahmedabad waited for more than three hours just to have a glance at Salman Khan, the star who has changed all rules of Box Office with mega hits like Bodyguard and Dabangg in recent times.The restlessness to soak in that desire was so very evident on their faces. Salman Khan was in Ahmedabad on Sunday with his co-star Katrina Kaif to promote the film Ek Tha Tiger produced by Yash Raj Films which will be released on August 15.

The security at the plush hotel was tight to the T to make the going smooth affair. Cameramen just couldn’t have enough of capturing Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in their lens. As the shutterbugs went on a fast track, the stars settled down for an open interaction.

Dressed in a bluish-grey shirt, jeans and of course with dollops of attitude Salman Khan lived up to his image of a star who has lived life on his own terms. His co-star Katrina in a white top and green pencil skirt presented a pretty picture.

Ek Tha Tiger directed by Kabir Khan created buzz even before it went on the floor. After all, for the first time Salman Khan is doing a film with Yash Raj and the expectations to break all previous records of B Town’s big-ticket films is now thick in the air. And for nothing, nobody is even taking a chance to release a film on the same date. Such is the power of these two huge brands (Salman and Yash Raj) of the showbiz.

Talking about Ek Tha Tiger, he says, “I really enjoyed working with YRF. Bahut maaza aaya. Ek Tha Tiger is a nice film. It’s a straight, clean film. It’s swift and it has got all the dynamics. So, we are quite hopeful that it will click with people. Lot of hardwork has got into making the film,” says Salman Khan who feels the real success of a film lies in people going to the theatres for watching it. He seems unfazed at all the talks of the film crossing the much talked about figure of Rs 100 crore and taking trade figures into a new dizzy high.

When asked a question why the name Ek Tha Tiger? Salman in his characteristic style said, “If I would have chosen the name then it would have been only Tiger. But then it’s the director’s wish to name the film like that. May be it was on the lines of all the stories we have heard at some point or other ‘Once upon a time’. So may be after 200 years we can hear it once again ‘Ek tha‘.”

His pretty co-star Katrina who is currently riding high on the popularity wave is all excited to work with Salman once again. “The audiences’ expectation is huge. I have worked with Kabir Khan before in New York. Ek Tha Tiger has been shot in different locations. The film has been an honest attempt,” says Katrina.

Both Katrina and Salman feel “The promos of Ek Tha Tiger have been well-received.

For years, Salman Khan has stirred many hearts by his romantic endearing character called Prem. Today he has taken a different route to fame, recognition through Chulbul Pandey and Lovely. He says, “It’s difficult doing a Chulbul Pandey act because it involves lots of action and the like.”

Right now, it’s over to Tiger.
