Over the years, quite a few films have been made, which claim on being a Indian take on a James Bond, Bourne or a Hollywood styled action dramatic thriller. However writer-director Kabir Khan follows a different ideology as he says that he didn't want any of that for his spy action thriller Ek Tha Tiger.

Stating without mincing any words that basing a character in the lines of James Bond would be nothing but foolhardy in India, he also reiterates that Salman Khan is as real a spy that could be show in a Bollywood 'masala' entertainer.

''Yes, Salman is playing a spy but the attempt is not to make him a James Bond here. In fact this is what I said to Adi (Aditya Chopra) as well when I narrated the story to him for the first time. ''I think when filmmakers try to do that, they end up taking the charm from telling a real story,'' says Kabir Khan who has made his third film for YRF (after Kabul Express and New York).''

Kabir is as well all praises for his Tiger as he says, ''Salman has an inherent larger than life quality to him. However Ek Tha Tiger compliments that since it is a very big story with the kind of scale and spread that should be quite fascinating for audiences worldwide,'' adds Kabir.

We utterly second with you Kabir!
