Getting the right location for shooting their films always stand to be a trouble for the filmmakers and things get a bit riskier if the film has a subject line as crucial as patriotism or country’s security.

Such films indeed have the need to be shot at some high security areas to incorporate the real feel and getting the special permission for the same never happens to be an easy task. But for the Salman Khan starrer Ek Tha Tiger, things turned out quite favorable.

Sources say that ETT was given a special permission to film in high-security areas of New Delhi. He was even given the nod to shoot in areas where government bureaucrats live. Instead of shooting at specially-erected sets, the makers of the film wanted to shoot with the star in authentic locations.  One of the sources said, "Special permission was sought from the government to shoot at these locations. As Salman's character in Kabir Khan's film is that of a special agent, the makers were keen to shoot in real environs where the agents work and live."

Further the source added, “Special agents never reveal their identity and live a life of concealed character profiling. Salman wanted to blend into all these aspects for his screen role. Due to which these locations have been used in the film. Apart from shooting in the Parliament Street area, several scenes were also filmed in some government quarters."

We wonder if that was the Salman magic which worked for the film!
