Permission was granted for the actor to shoot for 'Ek Tha Tiger' at highly sensitive and restricted areas of Delhi

Salman Khan was given special permission to film in high-security areas of latest Delhi for his upcoming spy thriller that may be normally out of bounds for many.

The star was also given the nod to shoot in areas where government bureaucrats live. As opposed to shooting at specially-erected sets, the makers of the film desired to shoot with the star in authentic locations.

Says a source, `Special permission was sought from the federal government to shoot at these locations. As Salman's character in Kabir Khan's film is that of a distinct agent, the makers were keen to shoot in real environs where the agents work and live.`

Adds the source, `Special agents never reveal their identity and live a lifetime of concealed character profiling. Salman desired to blend into most of these aspects for his screen role. As a result of which these locations was utilized in the film. Except shooting within the Parliament Street area, several scenes were also filmed in some government quarters.`

Apparently as Sallu is the star of the film and after realising what the film was all about, permission was finally granted to film in some sensitive areas.

According to the film's spokesperson, `Salman shot at real bureaucratic colonies in Delhi. The producers (Yash and Aditya Chopra) needed to seek permission from the federal government as such high security locations of India are kept out of bounds for being captured on camera.`
