Kabir Khan celebrates 13 years of Salman Khan`s Ek Tha Tiger

On another note, filmmaker Kabir Khan marked 13 years of his primary collaboration with Salman in Ek Tha Tiger on Friday. He took to his official Instagram handle and shared the poster from the 2012 spy thriller, along with a couple of unseen photographs from the sets of the action entertainer.

Commemorating the milestone, Kabir wrote: "Tiger... Tiger... Tiger... Thirteen years ago, Ek Tha Tiger with the megastars @beingsalmankhan and @katrinakaif roared into cinemas with the biggest opening in Indian cinema at that time, not just as a blockbuster romance-thriller, but as the spark that ignited what would become the now-famous YRF Spyverse."

He stated that what commenced as the simple tale of two spies caught between duty and love has, over the years, evolved into a "sprawling cinematic universe, weaving together high-octane action, global intrigue, and deeply human emotions."

"I will always be indebted to Aditya Chopra, who gave me a massive platform because he wanted Ek Tha Tiger to be a genre-defining leap for Hindi cinema, a statement that Indian storytelling could blend scale, style, and soul on an international canvas. And I`m so happy that I was able to deliver," the director added.
Disclosing what sets "Ek Tha Tiger" apart, Kabir shared that it is the fact that we were able to deliver that level of action without much VFX support."
