Sometime ago, we had told you about some happenings on the sets of Ek Tha Tiger: first, there were reports of Salman Khan‘s excessive meddling and starry tantrums. Secondly, rumors circulated about a tiff with Katrina Kaif regarding her choice of outfit – and things supposedly got a little out of hand. At that time we weren’t sure how much was true and how much was hearsay, but director Kabir Khan has recently confirmed that both incidents took place. Here’s what he said.

Kabir told Mirror:

“I will be honest. It took time for Salman and me to come on the same page. There were teething issues on how we look at the scenes and his character. Salman reports on the sets on his own time. He does not start his day early. And he was clear about it before we went on floors. But once he is on the sets, he is all yours till you wrap up. So well, you just have to plan your day with him intelligently.”

He further went on to say that Salman had a say in many things that went into Ek Tha Tiger – but Kabir Khan doesn’t make it sound like tantrums so much as just a difference of opinion. But, of course, we have to wonder how of it is just him being diplomatic.

As for the Salman-Katrina tiff, here’s what he had to say:

“Katrina and Salman go back a long way. He was very involved in their scenes together and her costumes. They have a certain equation. Even Salman seeks her opinion. But yes, there was an incident where they disagreed over Katrina’s costume in the song. It was over a particular cut in the black blouse she has worn with a yellow skirt.“

Again, “disagreed” is sounding like a classic diplomatic word, but who knows? Maybe it was really that civilized. What we wanna know, though, is whether Katrina went ahead and donned the original black blouse… or whether she’s wearing a modified version at Salman’s insistence. What do you think?
