Salman Cafe In Turkey

Ek Tha Tiger fever is not only in India, it is spreading to Turkey too, infact it started from Turkey. The very place where the shoots of Ek Tha Tiger started. Cafe Del-Mar in Mardin city is the most unlikely place where you will find the name of a Khan embedded as the shop name. While shooting for Ek Tha Tiger in Mardin, Salman and the rest of the crew would often visit Cafe Del-Mar, which was close to their shooting location. The actor, however, decided that the place needed a facelift, and went on to suggest various changes.

"He (Salman) started with the decor and music and went on to the food and beverage menu. Towards the end of our stay, Cafe Del-Mar was a completely new place!" says a source from the unit, adding, "It eventually came to be known as Salman Khan Cafe."

A Yash Raj Films spokesperson confirms, "Cafe Del-Mar is now referred to as Salman Khan Cafe as its identity has changed. They used to look forward to having Salman and the entire gang visit every day."

Director Kabir Khan adds, "In Mardin, this cafe was our only hangout. The music system wasn't very good, so Salman sent someone to get a better one. He installed it at the cafe, played new music and, after the shoot, left the sound system there."

So thats how the story goes! 

Steaming in on the popularity, multiplexes are planning to hike the ticket prices by 10-15% and this can be a let down. But the director says that its something out of his control to cover up, "That is not something that I can dictate to the multiplexes. They have said it is a standard practice they follow. When they feel a film is much-anticipated and is running during a holiday period or a festive period, they tend to mark up the price," Kabir said.

"Apparently, some time back (ticket) prices had been brought down, so the 15 percent mark up is just bringing it back to what it was three to four months back.

"So I don't think it is pumped up as much as it was done for some films a couple of years back."

Single screens will still be packed and reports are coming in that Chennai fans are as excited as for Rajnikanth movies, as they are expecting an action packed 2-3 hours!
