Trade analysts are anticipating that ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ will do business around 200 crores.

The reasons are many. It releases on 15th August.  It can run successfully for one week, till Eid. No other major film is releasing in this period. The movie casts Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif together a long time after their separation. Plus, all Salman’s movies released during Eid have the track record of grossing a good collection.

Though director Kabir Khan disagrees he feels the story too matters, and Salman can only help him get a good opening day. He said, "I feel the film has stamina to run for a very long time. I hope the film goes way beyond the opening which is dependent on Salman. After that it is me and the film that I have made. I feel it has the strength to go a long way." 

Girsih Wankhede, DGM of Cinemax India also hopes it will cross 200 crores mark. He said, “Ek tha Tiger is likely to cross 200 crores from India. Not only that the film will break and create many new records at the box-office." The highest ever grossing film in India is ‘3 Idiots’. It earned 300 crores.

Akash Saxena, CEO, of Big Cinemas said, “Ek Tha Tiger will be the biggest grosser, as it has the advantage of an extended weekend and high demand for the film.” It is likely to do well in overseas market too. A prominent Indian channel reported that all the tickets are sold out in Dubai, prior to one week of its release. 

Salman too claimed that, when he said to the channel, “I’ve heard that no one’s getting tickets in Dubai. A week after the bookings opened, it is sold-out. This is nine days before the release of the film.” The rumor is some multiplexes are also trying to up the price of the tickets to cash on the buzz surrounding it. Salman’s previous movies ‘Ready’ and ‘Bodyguard’ were priced higher than their usual rate as well.

As one of Salman’s fan said, “I’ve already booked my tickets for the first show. There’s no rush now, but I don’t want to take any chances. I’m a huge Salman fan and I have always watched his movie first day, first show.” 

The hype surrounding ETT is really massive. Fans are eagerly waiting for its release.

If a star delivers back-to-back hit then pressure upon him will be automatically much. He would feel the pressure of audience’s expectation. Salman Khan is in the similar position today. ‘Dabangg’, ‘Ready’ and Bodygurad’, after the super-duper success of one after another film, he feels that he is in the dangerous position as he don’t what what’s going to be next.

"I am happy that my films are doing well. But it is a very dangerous position to be in, as we don't know what to do in the next film. I don't know what to do right now," Salman said in an interview.

"If a script is full of action, and then there is a romantic film...the sudden change from action to romantic makes you wonder how is it going to work, so you don't know what to do," he said.

"If there is a larger than life character in films that I do, then it becomes like no one can kill him...it will get boring. So it is a very dangerous position to be in, like if you take a film to a larger level then it is like too much is happening, if don't take it to that level then it is like first was better. You don't know what to do," the actor said.

Salman said he is not feeling any pressure. "I don't feel the pressure...if it does not do well then it does not. We will see it in next film. If a film is good it will do well. If it is a bad film, it will bomb at box office. I believe audience is always right," he said. 

He spoke about Rs 100 crore collections."The Rs100 crore thing is just a PR kind of workshop, talking about (Rs100 crore) collection and all. The person who has come to watch a good film, if he likes it he will come again either with family or friends."

"The number of times he watches the film is good for all of us, for the movie as a whole, the producers, theatre, exhibitors, artists, country and for the economy of the country," he added.

Salman feels that he is lucky to be a part of good film. "I think I have been lucky to have got good films. It is the passion that keeps me going. I like my job and it has turned into my hobby and I enjoy doing it," he said.

In his 24-year-old career in Bollywood, it is for the first time that he has teamed up with Yash Raj Films.

On the association, the 45-year-old actor says, "There is right time for everything. And Ek Tha Tiger came at right time and place. Why I took so long, it is like asking why you are born now, why not later on?"

When asked how ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ impressed him. "It was the script that attracted me to do this film. The script, Kabir Khan as a director and Katrina Kaif in the main lead, title Ek Tha Tiger, then I play a RAW agent, Yash Raj production, all these things were enough for me to go ahead with the film," he said.

Salman, Katrina starrer ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is slated to release on August 15th.

First John Abraham, then Hrithik Roshan and now Aamir Khan, the protagonist for the Dhoom franchise seems to get exciting with every new outing.

Abhishek Bachchan feels the same, as he states "I have huge expectations from ‘Dhoom 3’. It has become a really big franchise. I'm especially excited because Aamir joins the series as the lead antagonist. His joining the cast completely raises the level of the franchise as he brings forth a high sense of professionalism and perfection. I have grown up watching and admiring Aamir's performances, I'm looking forward to acting with him. I have had a word with Aamir, and he's really excited about ‘Dhoom 3’. I feel that he will give his career-best performance in the film.” Teaming along with Uday Chopra, Abhishek plays the role of a cop for the third time.

The female lead in the movie is the gorgeous Katrina Kaif. The movie is being directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. He has written the story as well. It’s being produced by the Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films.

Well, seems the world can’t wait for Aamir-the-villain.

Deepika, Kareena and Katrina now have serious competition. Adult movie star Sunny Leone has decided to leave the porn industry and stay put in Bollywood for the next two years. The actress is basking in the glory of the initial success of ‘Jism 2’, which released on August 3rd.

Sunny who was attending an event organized by Hotel Hindustan International in Kolkata, said, "I am amazed by the love I am getting from the people here in India. In the next couple of years, I will be busy doing films here. And I am going to give it all the attention possible."

She was however a bit circumspect with her Hindi conversation, as filmmakers often rejected her due to that reason. About which she said, "I am improving. I took Hindi classes for 2-3 hours daily. But I still feel that my American accent will probably never go."

Sunny

 

Well if Katrina Kaif has managed to do it, we believe Sunny too can cross that hurdle.

Previously, in conversation with Anupama Chopra of India Real Time, Sunny was apprehensive is she really would leave her industry. In the show called “The Front Row with Anupama Chopra”, she was asked by the host if she would like to see herself as a Bollywood actress or a porn star. Sunny said, “I will always own my production company. That’s something that will always be there. I think that a lot of people forget those are my roots. That’s where I come from. There’s not going to be one day when every single thing that I’ve ever done is going to be erased from the Internet because it’s not going to happen. I think there are going to be fans in America that will always have material that they’ll be able to see. I’m fortunate enough that Bollywood is going to be keeping me busy for a little while, at least until next year –God willing, hopefully forever. Let’s see what happens.”

She has already been approached by filmmaker Ekta Kapoor, for a sequel of ‘Ragini MMS’. Bollywood seems to be more than happy to use her sensuality rather than her body. As Pooja Bhatt, director of ‘Jism 2’ had once explained to Sunny by saying, “Pornography is about baring your body but this movie is about baring your soul.” Seems Sunny has taken a cue from that
