In his forthcoming film Ek Tha Tiger, Salman Khan will be seen as a RAW agent. This will be the first time that Salman Khan will be playing such an important role in life. Salman has hardly ever played such a role before in his life. Ek Tha Tiger is a Yash Raj film to be directed by Kabir Khan.
Salman Khan may yet be reeling under the influence of the Chulbul Pandy fame in Dabangg. However, playing the role of a RAW agent will not be that easy for Salman. The reason is that it is a realistic role and far too different from that of the character of Chulbul Pandey.
After Salman was approached for the role by Aditya Chopra and as soon as he heard the script, he decided to go for the role. This was also going to be the test of his character as an actor. One important thing though, Salman will have to get into the RAW agent’s mindset by studying them. Only then can he bring out a performance worth appreciating.
The shooting of the film is likely to get underway towards the end of this year.
RAW – the Research and Analysis Wing, is the external intelligence agency of India.
