Salman 'Tiger' Khan has booked the 2013 Eid date for his big release 'Sher Khan'.

'Fantasy-action-adventure thriller 'Sher Khan' was on hold after director Sohail Khan and his scriptwriters went into an anxious huddle over the spectacle-quotient and the stunts.

Salman Khan’s traditional Eid release was reported to be missing in 2013. Quickly other filmmakers wanted to grab the coveted Eid slot for next year.

But Sohail Khan shattered all hopes when he confirmed that 'Sher Khan' will have a EId opening.

When the buzz spread that there may not be a Salman release for the next Eid, distributors across the country also expressed dismay.

Every year Salman has a movie in the offing during Eid and it sees cash registers ringing.

This year too the Eid release dates were allotted to Salman starrer 'Ek Tha Tiger' which broke all records in the Box Office.

'Sher Khan' will be directed by Sohail and the special-effects in the film would cost an estimated Rs 12 crores.

The script has been suitably revamped, keeping in mind Salman’s inability to perform dangerous stunts particularly those that expose his face to danger.

It is reported that the shooting will begin in January 2013.

So far Angela Johnson is confirmed in the cast opposite Salman. Another leading lady, most probably Priyanka Chopra, is being finalized.
