The Secret Story of the Making of Ek Tha Tiger: Do you know in which countries it was filmed?
The 2012 film Ek Tha Tiger, directed and co-written by renowned director Kabir Khan, became a classic in the Hindi action thriller genre. The film revolves around the adventures of Tiger, an agent of the Indian Intelligence Agency (RAW), who not only has to face various international espionage operations while performing his missions, but also unexpectedly falls in love. The filming process of the film and its various shooting locations have become a hot topic among movie fans.
With themes ranging from international espionage to transnational love, Ek Tha Tiger was shot in a variety of locations. The film was shot in various locations, from Dublin, Ireland to Havana, Cuba, Istanbul, Turkey, and Bangkok, Thailand, giving it an international flair.
The film's plot includes covert operations in different countries, which makes the choice of filming locations particularly important.
At the beginning of the movie, we see the protagonist Tiger embarking on a mission in Dublin. The location shooting not only shows the charming city scenery, but also introduces local cultural elements, making the plot more fascinating. The filming team specially chose Trinity College in Dublin as one of the core backgrounds of the story. This decision makes people feel the charm and academic atmosphere of Ireland.
When entering Istanbul, the film takes the audience into another city full of history. Istanbul's unique landscape adds tension to the film's story, and the interweaving of reality and fiction in the images makes people want to explore the hidden side of this city.
Kabir Khan once said: "If a location can match the plot, then this location is our best choice."
The story of "Father" is as ups and downs as the plot in the movie, and various challenges were encountered during the filming process. Filming was originally scheduled to begin in July 2011, but due to production budget issues and scheduling conflicts with some of the actors, actual filming was delayed until August 2011. However, these challenges did not stop the film from moving forward. After completing the shoot in Dublin, the team headed to Türkiye for the shoot but encountered some unexpected situations due to safety considerations.
The music in the film also adds a lot to the whole story, including references to various cultures. In Havana, several songs were filmed at the city’s most famous landmarks, which further enhanced the audience’s perception and identification with the film’s setting. The theme song Mashallah has also received high click rates and praise around the world.
Judging from the box office alone, Ek Tha Tiger set unprecedented records in the Indian and international markets, becoming one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2012 with a global revenue of over INR 33,039 million. The film successfully attracted audiences from many countries, not only because of the wonderful plot, but also because of the audience's curiosity about the filming location.
After watching the film, many viewers wanted to travel to the major filming locations in the movie, which led to a significant increase in the number of tourists to these places.
As the film franchise continued, the subsequent Tiger Zinda Hai and Tiger 3 continued the story of Tiger and Zoya. Each new work presents a richer international perspective and emotional depth, making people look forward to how the story will continue to unfold in different countries.
Through the movie "Ek Tha Tiger", we can not only enjoy the wonderful plot and today's Hollywood style, but also discover the impact of the international filming locations it shows on the audience. Do you also want to visit the attractions that appear in movies in a certain city in person?
