Yash Raj Films' romantic thriller Ek Tha Tiger, which was scheduled for a June 1, 2012, release will now release in theatres worldwide on EID 2012.

Since Aamir Khan wanted to release his next film, directed by Reema Kagti, on June 1 next year, he requested Salman Khan and Aditya Chopra to shift Ek tha Tiger to accommodate this release. Given the close relationship and mutual respect they share for one another, both Adi and Salman were happy to oblige and shift the release to Eid.

Directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.

The film is based on a story by Aditya Chopra and the Screenplay & Dialogues have been written by Kabir Khan and Neelesh Misra. Aseem Mishra, who has worked with Kabir on New York, is the DOP. The music will be scored by Sohail Sen.

The film is currently shooting in Dublin from where it moves on to Turkey for its next schedule.
