| Kabir Khan Comes Clean About Salman Khan Dictates in Ek Tha Tiger |
Kabir does not cast Salman in a bad light, but states facts as they are in his chat with Mumbai Mirror.
"I will be honest. It took time for Salman and me to come on the same page. There were teething issues on how we look at the scenes and his character," Kabir told Mirror.
"Salman has had a say in many things that have gone into Ek Tha Tiger."
The actor does report to the set late, says Kabir, but he makes up for it once he's arrived.
"Salman reports on the sets on his own time. He does not start his day early. And he was clear about it before we went on floors. But once he is on the sets, he is all yours till you wrap up. So well, you just have to plan your day with him intelligently."
What happened about the much publicised incident regarding Salman not being happy with Katrina's dress:
"Katrina and Salman go back a long way. He was very involved in their scenes together and her costumes. They have a certain equation. Even Salman seeks her opinion. But yes, there was an incident where they disagreed over Katrina's costume in the song. It was over a particular cut in the black blouse she has worn with a yellow skirt."
How about his intense action scenes considering he was suffering from health issues.
Kabir says perhaps they pushed the actor a bit too far in the action sequences, until they learnt of his illness.
"But after we learnt about his illness, we got scared and were careful. In fact, we have used a body double as much as any other filmmaker would," said Kabir.
Kabir's final word is he is reintroducing the 46-year-old star in the film.
"We did not use cables like in other films. I did not want Salman to look like a superhero but a fit and agile man. I don't want to sound pompous but this film is going to redefine action in Hindi cinema. The action sequences take the story forward and are different from what Salman has so far done in his career. There has to be an attempt to reintroduce the actor."
The much-awaited Ek Tha Tiger hits theaters on August 15. Salman and Katrina will start the promo tour in early August across the country, spanning several cities.
Given how much chemistry we've seen in Mashallah, the tour sounds like it's going to be a blast!
