Kabir Khan added that while ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ was one of the biggest box office successes of 2012, its continued popularity is even more special. He loves that people still talk about it fondly even in 2025. He truly believes, “Tiger will always live on.”
An Indian Film Among Global Spies
It’s a huge deal because ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is the very first Indian movie to get a spot at the International Spy Museum. This museum in Washington D.C. celebrates all things espionage. The film’s poster stands alongside legendary Hollywood spy thrillers. We’re talking about movies like ‘Mission Impossible,’ ‘Spy Game,’ ‘Men in Black,’ and ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.’ This puts ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ in some seriously cool company.
This groundbreaking film, which also starred Katrina Kaif, started a whole spy universe. Its massive success led to two more blockbuster sequels. Fans got to see Salman and Katrina again in ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ and ‘Tiger 3.’ This honor just proves that the ‘Tiger’ franchise has made its mark globally!
