An `Ek Tha Tiger` sequel around the corner?
Sources say that a sequel of Salman Khan's spy thriller might be at the anvil with the makers registering two similar titles

Anticipating a roaring box office success, the makers of the recently released Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif spy thriller are already said to be making grand plans for the longer term. Buzz is that the production company has already registered two titles Ek Hai Tiger and Ek Rahega Tiger, indicating that there could well be a sequel across the corner.

Mixed verdict

Our sources say that though word-of-mouth has not been so encouraging, the makers are quite upbeat concerning the response the film has received. While the film raked in nearly Rs 30 crore on day one, the second one day collections dropped drastically almost by 50 per cent to settle at nearly Rs 15 crore.

A trade analyst on conditions of anonymity says, `With the long weekend arising together with Eid, collections are like to increase. But right now, it's still a ways to visit touch the Rs 150 crore mark.`

Pak says No

When the trailer of the film was released, Pakistani Censor Board officials banned it, claiming that the film tarnishes just like their intelligence agency ISI. Now it's been announced that even the film won't be screened there. The Yash Raj Studios spokesperson says, `The film has not been cleared for release by their Censor Board when they saw it day before yesterday.`
