Director Kabir Khan, who cast Salman Khan as a RAW agent in “Ek Tha Tiger”, says the actor is apt to become India’s James Bond.

“Salman, I think, has the charisma and the sheer presence that a Bond needs,” the 41-year-old said at the premiere of latest 007 movie Skyfall in Mumbai.

“You look at him, he is strong, silent. But you know when he, sort of, goes into action, there is going to be a lot of thrill,” he added.

Kabir said: “When I was making Ek Tha Tiger, I was conscious that we didn’t want to do a Bond because I feel that there is a difference between Hindi films and Hollywood films.

“In our films, even in love stories, our heroes are James Bond, so there has to be a differentiator.”

However, Kabir did incorporate a few aspects of Bond movies.

“We stayed away from the sort of Bond style of presenting an agent. Yes, the action we took, a lot of effort was taken to make it international and it was probably very similar to the kind of action that you see nowadays in the new Bond films, more realistic,” he said.

  7. only salman can do this he is the best action hero and he is the real tiger the film is superb

  8. They tried to make it look like a hollywood action movie, but have failed., Nor Salman Khan can be a James bond nor this movie should be compared with any James Bond movie.Instead of copying Hollywood India should stick to its own style of movies.

  9. OHH..nearly forgot to say i lovee bigg boss 6 and love salman khan <3 <3 x
    just in case salman khan reads my message ( yh like thats gonna happen) i would like to say that you are the best host on bigg boss 6 and are soo entertaining, cracking jokes and all mashallah :) :)

  10. I think it was a fantastic film, and i am a great fan of Salman khan and Katrina Kaif , i think that it was the best thriller action mixed film this year i would give it 9 1/2 out of 10 .i think that salman and katrina as a couple is a great jodi masallah, and i pray to god that he will always keep them happy togather and give them long lives. inshallah :)

  11. Please! Give me a break. This guy can’t even say his dialogue in proper way. Any other actor can do better than sallu but no one can come any close to OO7.

  12. did any one actually saw the movie?? No Story, poor plotting, bad camera angles.. Neither Salman khan nor katrina deserve any fame out of this poorly picturized film.

    • No i dont think anybody saw the movie that is why it broke like all the records made by other movies

    • Actually I am a Die Heart Sallu Fan but even me and many more of his Fans and his haters as well were disappointed after seeing Ek tha Tiger. Only Part I loved was Mashallah song and yeah SALMAN has become a brand after working 24 years in Bollywood so anyone is coming and selling their nonsense stories and spoiling Salman’s Talent. Bodyguard was even worse. anyways TIGER rocks and we love our BIGG BOSS.
