Ek Tha Tiger releases tomorrow and trade, industry as well as soothsayers have only one question on their lips – ‘Will Salman Khan end up creating new records with this film?’ Such is the buildup of hype around the film that while it is a given that the film would cross the Rs.100 crores “To begin with, Salman is now all set to regain the opening day record that was created with Bodyguard last Eid”, comments an insider, “It was tipped by Hrithik Roshan with Agneepath earlier this year but with expectation of nothing less than Rs. 30 crores opening day for Ek Tha Tiger, not just Hrithik but even Shah Rukh’s Ra.One’s record of highest day ever would be smashed.” Meanwhile bets are being placed on the number of days in which Ek Tha Tiger would cross the Rs. 100 crore milestone. The record is currently held by Salman himself whose Bodyguard had managed this total in its extended week last year. Now for Ek Tha Tiger it is expected that Salman would manage this huge moolah in five-six days flat.
