Ek Tha Tiger

The bitter fact that Ek Tha Tiger’s life time theatrical business will not reach the figure of Aamir Khan’s Three Idiots has begun to hurt Salman Khan… Want to know how? Well, Salman showed his frustration in a unique way during the recent press conference of Colors’ Bigg Boss when he was asked about the opening TRP his reality show would fetch. Salman’s outburst came like this, “I really do not know, but the figures do matter. Take the collection of Ek Tha Tiger, a month after release they are slowly crawling up to the Rs. 200 crore mark.

Gavie Chahal believes in taking up new challenges when it comes to work. After debuting on television with Colors’ Mohe Rang De, the actor has had a good stint with Punjabi films. Recently, he spread his wings and made a name for himself in Bollywood with the Salman Khan starrer, <em>Ek Tha Tiger</em>. And now the tall and handsome Gavie is busy auditioning for PTC Punjabi’s beauty pageant this year along with Divya Dutta. He will be seen as a judge on the panel of Miss Punjabi which will air on the channel from 10 September 2012.

While watching Ek Tha Tiger (ETT), many of us felt that Katrina Kaif’s’ ISI handler Major Abrar was a familiar face. Yes, he is no one else but talented TV actor Gavie Chahal who was first noticed in <em>Mohe Rang De</em> on Colors, but never managed to make it big on the small screen space. He last appeared in Zee TV’s <em>Mrs Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein</em> in which he played one of the sons of the house.

If there ever was a debate on who is the biggest Khan in Bollywood, yesterday’s humongous opening (32.92 crores in a day) to Salman Khan’s spy love story <em>Ek Tha Tiger</em> (ETT) has sealed the debate. Both classes and masses are enjoying Sallu and Katrina Kaif making a monkey out of both the ISI (Inter Service Intelligence, Pakistan’s external spy agency) and RAW ( Research and Analysis Wing, India’s premier cloak and dagger agency). Not just aam janta even our TV actors too have joined the praise <em>bhai</em> brigade.

Marzi Pestonji recently had a tough time on the sets of Zee TV’s top rated reality show DID L’il Masters when Salman Khan and Grandmaster Mithun<em>da</em> ragged him to no length over his terrible Hindi!! Marzi who is the quintessential Bawa however, found a supporter in Kat (who has also been a butt of such jokes for her bad Hindi).
