Salman Khan honoured to work with YRF

Though the hot news is that, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will come together for Kabir Khan's film Ek Tha Tiger, after their much-talked about break up, the superstar is happy about something else altogether.

Actor Salman Khan will finally make a debut with Yash Raj Films in Ek Tha Tiger. The actor told TOI, “In the past, Adi and I have met a few times on various projects but somehow when Kabir and he came to me with this particular story, we all just knew that this was the one. It is a very ambitious project and will be a challenge for all of us, but that's exactly what makes it such a big draw. Above all this, I'm honoured to be working with Yashji, who has worked so closely with my dad in the past."

While everyone is excited to experience the magic that Salman and Katrina's pairing portrays on-screen, the actor as well as the production house (YRF) is happy to be together for the first time. Yash Raj expresses, “ Everyone knows my association with Salim saab, having worked together on Deewaar, Trishul and Kaala Patthar. It is a very happy moment for us to have his son Salman with us for the first time. Over the years, Salman has become a very matured and talented actor and both he and Katrina have a tremendous connect with their audiences."

Ek Tha Tiger goes on floors in early July and is slated for a mid-2012 release.
