Insights on Ek Tha Tiger
Commenting on this milestone, director Kabir Khan remarked, "They reached out to me – We noticed the poster of Ek Tha Tiger and it’s the only Hindi film present in the entire array of films. I found it quite entertaining and it was wonderful to see Salman and Katrina’s images on that wall! This must have been a recent addition. The first notification I received about it was a few months back."
He further stated, "Back then, we didn’t depend heavily on VFX for action sequences. I believe that as a filmmaker and viewer, there’s a distinct difference when you pursue raw, authentic, and gritty action. Over-reliance on VFX doesn’t resonate."
