Salman to resume shooting of Ek Tha Tiger from September

Yash Raj Films and director Kabir Khan can breathe a sigh of relief. Salman Khan is all set to fly to Dublin to resume shooting on September 10 for Yash Raj Films-Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger. The crew, including Katrina Kaif (who, as reported, has set aside all other projects), has been keeping itself on hold monitoring Salman's post-surgery recuperation. Now they can heave a sigh of relief, as Salman is well on the way to recovery.

Says a source close to the actor, "After the seven-hour surgery the doctors had prescribed a strict regime for Salman to follow. But he has defied the rules, as usual. He's filled with mauj-masti in the US. He's very happy. Salman has been calling up his brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri for the box-office figures of Bodyguard. Though the doctors have predicted the possibility of a second surgery three months from now, Salman has healed with amazing dexterity leaving even his surgeons flummoxed."

Atul Agnihotri confirms Salman's heartening recovery. "Salman has a Trigeminal Neuralgia with an AV Malformation. He also has another rare complication. He has been treated in the US. The procedure took seven hours and it is successful."

About Salman not paying attention to doctors' orders Atul says, "He is en route to recovery defying post-operation instructions. That's Salman for you."

About further treatment, Atul says, "Salman has to get a check-up done in three months to decide if he needs to get a second procedure done. He should commence shooting for Yash Raj soon in Dublin."

Sources at Yash Raj confirm that the shooting resumes on September 10 which incidentally is the date when Salman'sDabangg had released.
