Ek Tha Tiger is all set to hit the screens on 15th August. The director of the movie Kabir Khan says that Salman Khan is the only actor in Bollywood who can play the role of Tiger so brilliantly in the movie. Kabir Khan told a leading daily, "Salman was always my first choice. How many of our heroes can you address as Tiger and not feel cheesy about it?

Salman is the only guy on whom Tiger rests so naturally and beautifully. I don't think anyone apart from Salman could have done justice to Tiger. Tiger is a legend... he's a guy who is supposed to be a super agent. Salman is a legend too." Kabir further added, "I didn't want to spend screen time establishing that fact. From the moment he walks on to the screen, you know he is larger than life. No one else apart from Salman could have established that." Well Kabir..., we agree with you to the hilt!
