Salman is currently shooting for Ek Tha TIger along with his co-star Katrina Kaif. The movie is directed by Kabir Khan, and marks the first time Salman is working with Yash Raj Films. Word is that Salman Khan plays the role of a nuclear scientist in the film who is accused of leaking some sensitive information to a rival country. Many hopes are being pinned on Ek Tha Tiger, as Salman has emerged as the undisputed king of the box office during the Eid festival over the last few years.

The end of the year will see the release of brother Arbaaz Khan's Dabangg 2, the sequel to the biggest blockbuster of 2010. Arbaaz turned producer with the first, and this time round he will be turning director as well. Salman of-course returns as the most lovable Chulbul Pandey, Sonakshi Sinha is the only heroine in the film while Sonu Sood will be missing. If the first film has any bearing then Salman should end the year with a big bang!

Sandwiched between these two releases, Salman Khan has to make time to shoot for a number of projects he has committed to, including brother Shohil Khan's Sher Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick and a yet to be titled film by Ramesh Taurani. The year 2012 sounds like a great one for Salman Khan fans and with so many movies in the making 2013 should be no less! We will not be surprised if Salman were to sign a few more films, as he is currently the most bankable star in Bollywood.
