12 years of Ek Tha Tiger: Did you know Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s actioner had stunt directors from 14 countries?

Ek Tha Tiger, released 12 years ago, marked a significant milestone in Indian cinema. Directed by Kabir Khan and starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, the film became a blockbuster, blending action, romance, and espionage. It told the story of Tiger, a RAW agent, and Zoya, an ISI agent, who fall in love despite their national loyalties. The movie’s high-octane action sequences, picturesque international locations, and captivating storyline resonated with audiences. As the movie marked 12 years of its release, we have got our hands on an interesting trivia for all the cinema lovers!

In an interview with Hindustan Times, director Kabir Khan shared that the shoot was incredibly exciting. The team brought in action directors from Bollywood as well as stunt directors from 14 different countries. The action sequences were filmed on a large scale, with the shooting taking place in five countries besides India—Cuba, Ireland, Turkey, the Syrian border, and Thailand.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Khan will be next seen in AR Murugadoss and Sajid Nadiadwala’s Sikandar. The movie stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. 

A recent report by Mid-Day suggested that the film’s first shooting schedule may have finished on July 1.

The publication noted that the mass entertainer wrapped up its schedule with an intense action sequence between Khan and co-star Prateik Babbar at Chitrakoot Grounds. This sequence, reportedly filmed at Taj Lands End in Bandra, included a plane and a specially constructed exterior set.

The report also mentioned that after completing the action scene on Monday, the team is expected to take a 45-day break. During this time, a new set will be built at SRPF Ground in Goregaon.

According to Pinkvilla’s sources, Khan starrer will be shot in Portugal and other European countries, apart from some portions in India, on a huge budget. This action-packed extravaganza guarantees an unparalleled cinematic journey set for release during the Eid weekend of 2025.  

On the other hand, Katrina was last seen in Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas. The actor up next is in talks with Farhan Akhtar for Jee Le Zara alongside Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra.

What is Tay-Gating? Find Out as Taylor Swift Fans Are Warned Against It at Her Concert in Wembley

The iconic pop star Taylor Swift’s fans who do not have tickets to her upcoming London Eras Tour shows are being asked to avoid gathering outside Wembley Stadium. The practice known as Tay-Gating, where fans without tickets gather outside to listen to the music, is not permitted for her five Wembley concerts starting August 15.

Thursday, Aug. 15. Wembley Stadium’s website notes that only ticket holders or those visiting the merchandise store should visit the stadium to avoid disturbing residents and businesses. “To ensure safe entry and exit, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium.” The venue also stated that anyone without a ticket would be asked to leave.

Taylor Swift performed at the 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium for three nights in June. Recently, about 50,000 fans gathered and camped out in the hills behind the Olympiastadion in Munich during her Eras Tour last month. After her shows in Munich, Swift, 34, acknowledged the extra fans on Instagram, noting that while 74,000 people attended each night, another 50,000 listened from the hillside park behind the stadium.

Billboard Music Award winner Taylor Swift expressed her gratitude for fans who participated in her Munich shows from afar, saying the joy and unexpected memories moved her this tour created. Swift’s return to the stage in London follows the cancellation of her Vienna concerts on August 8-10 due to an alleged terror threat. Authorities arrested two men on August 7 in connection with the planned attack, with a third suspect arrested the next day.

Before Taylor Swift’s London shows, Wembley Stadium announced that everyone will be checked before entry and that no weapons are allowed. The Metropolitan Police stated that the alleged terror plot in Vienna won’t affect the London shows, assuring that there is no indication of any impact. They also noted that London venues host many high-profile events safely each year. Swift will be supported by Paramore, Griff, and Suki Waterhouse at her shows, which continue until August 20.

‘It Doesn’t Change How I Live or Dress’: Katie Holmes On Not Letting Hollywood Dictate What To Wear

Katie Holmes is a badass lady who owns her style, right? Even after being a top actress for the last two decades in the industry, she won’t allow anyone to dictate her clothing choices. The actress recently opened up to Town & Country about how she’s navigated the showbiz industry and found a way to draw extra attention to her outfits, which has only been possible due to the relevance of social media.

“Fashion is really big, and it didn’t used to be,” she said. “As an actor, you weren’t necessarily photographed all the time on the street. It’s different now, and it’s flattering, but it doesn’t change how I live or dress. I’m adamant about having a life and not letting this industry dictate decisions as simple as what I wear or as complicated as what I do. You don’t want to be afraid of anything, right?” she added.

Holmes also shared that she has been quite choosy when it comes to her film choices throughout her career. Now, as a veteran in the film industry, she has the opportunity to select projects that ignite her passion, rather than taking on roles out of compulsion. She emphasized the importance of doing good work—projects that viewers will enjoy and respond to.

Holmes has come a long way since her breakout role as Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek, which ran from 1998 to 2003. In addition to acting in hit movies, she has ventured into producing, directing, and fashion; most recently, she collaborated with the French brand A.P.C.

 

Recently, she experienced unexpected moments of emotional catharsis as her daughter Suri, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise, is set to begin her freshman year at Carnegie Mellon University.

In the same interview, she revealed that she has intentionally kept herself occupied with activities such as a book club, dance classes, and painting to stay busy while her daughter pursues her dreams.

Suri will study at the School of Art, specifically in the Design Department, which offers a wide range of design courses, including graphic design, illustration, visual arts, and more, all designed for creative minds to unleash their talent.
