'I'm sure Ek Tha Tiger will make more than Rs 100 crores

'

Sonil Dedhia in Mumbai

Director Kabir Khan has come a long way.

After making two films (Kabul Express and New York), the filmmaker is ready with one of the most expensive and awaited movies of 2012 -- Ek Tha Tiger -- starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif.

While any other director would be nervous, Khan is calm and composed and says he is aware of the fact that the lead pair might overshadow his film.

In conversation with Sonil Dedhia, Khan talks about the expectations he has from the film, his experience of directing Salman, and what this film means for his career.

Ek Tha Tiger is one the most anticipated films of the year and is all set to release on August 15. Are you nervous?

Not at all. The film has been made and I am just enjoying the hype and the expectations. I am very confident and proud of the film. I am just laying back and enjoying the moment.

Has the feeling sunk in that you have directed such a huge film?

Obviously, for any filmmaker, if his film gets a lot of attention it's nice. But the attention should be for the right reasons.

I am happy today because I do know that the attention that I am getting today, apart from the fact that it's a superstar pair, is because people have reacted positively to my first promo.

It shows that the content is also speaking and it's not just the star's name.
