Salman Khan’s super hit film `Ek Tha Tiger` leaves scope for a sequel. This is apparent from the movie’s ending. But, for now, the makers have denied any such move. Salman`s previous few films like `No Entry`, `Wanted`, `Dabangg` have sequels. This led to speculation of a second installment for his latest offering `Ek Tha Tiger`. Director Kabir denied of any plans for a sequel. He hinted there was no storyline being worked on. Yash Raj Films` Vice President (marketing and communications) Rafiq Gangjee denied a follow up film. It’s heartening for Salman that his fourth consecutive blockbuster ‘ETT’ earned a record breaking Rs 32 crore on the opening day and has now recorded another milestone. The Kabir Khan-directed movie earned over Rs 100 crore in just five days, after it was released on August 15. Salman's younger sister Arpita Khan broke the news on Twitter: "Total 100.16 C in 5 days.

And the TIGER ROARS! Tiger Tiger Tiger." ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, co-starring Katrina Kaif, is the fourth Salman film to make it to the elite "Rs 100 crore club" after ‘Dabangg’, ‘Ready’ and ‘Bodyguard’. Industry circles feel that it may exceed Aamir Khan’s total earnings from ‘3 Idiots’. The romantic thriller released on Independence Day (August 15) is stated to have cost Rs. 50 crore to its producer. ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is director Kabir Khan's third collaboration with Yash Raj Films after ‘Kabul Express’ in 2006 and ‘New York’ in 2009. While it is Salman's first Yash Raj film, it’s second for Katrina, who appeared in ‘New York’ earlier. Incidentally, she has two other Yash Raj films coming up – ‘Dhoom: 3’ with Aamir Khan and an untitled film with Shah Rukh Khan.
