Ek Tha Tiger (Hindi: एक था टायगर, Urdu: ایک تھا ٹیگر) is an upcoming Hindi language romantic thriller. The film will be produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Kabir Khan. This will be his third collaboration with the banner after Kabul Express (2006) and New York (2009). Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif were confirmed to play the lead roles at a press conference held on May 3, 2011 at Yashraj Studios.[1] It was scheduled to release on 1 June, 2012, but since Aamir Khan wanted to release his next film, directed by Reema Kagti, on 1st June. Hence, he requested Salman Khan and Aditya Chopra to shift Ek tha Tiger to accommodate this release. Given the close relationship and mutual respect Aamir Khan, Aditya Chopra and Salman Khan share, the release of Ek Tha Tiger is shifted to Eid 2012.

Production
This will be Salman Khan's first venture with Yashraj Films, whereas his father, Salim Khan, has written Trishul (1978), Kaala Patthar (1979) earlier for the banner. Also, director Kabir Khan teams up with Katrina Kaif and Aseem Mishra again after the successful New York. Initially, Pritam was signed as the composer of the film. However, later he opted out of the film, citing date problems with both Yash Raj projects Ek Tha Tiger and Dhoom 3. Thus, Aditya Chopra being impressed by composer Sohail Sen's work in their recent venture Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, roped him to compose for the film.[2]
Filming
Filming began on August 10, 2011[3][4] and the film is set to release next year (Eid 2012). It is being filmed in five different countries,[5] including Ireland[6] and Turkey.[7] On 9 August 2011, Yashraj Films announced that they will be releasing the first look of the film in form of a digital poster, which was released on August 10, 2011. It is the first Bollywood film ever to do so.
Soundtrack
The film's original score and soundtrack will be composed by Sohail Sen, who already has begun working on the film. The lyrics will be penned by Neelesh Misra.[8]
