MUMBAI: The release of YRF’s Ek Tha Tiger has been postponed to an Eid release next year.

The release has been postponed since Aamir Khan wanted to release his next film Dhuan, directed by Reema Kagti, on 1 June for which he requested Salman Khan and producer Aditya Chopra to reschedule the release of their project.

"Owing to close relationship and mutual respect they share with one another, both Chopra and Khan were happy to oblige and shift the release to Eid," a Yash Raj Films (YRF) statement said.

Earlier, the film starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif among others was to release on 1 June 2012.

Ek Tha Tiger is currently being shot in Dublin from where it will move on to Turkey for its next schedule.
