After taking a stupendous start at the box-office, Salman Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger' was rumoured to have a sequel in the making.

Buzz was that the production company has registered two titles 'Ek Hai Tiger' and 'Ek Rahega Tiger' for the part 2 of the flick.

But despite the climax of the superhit film 'Ek Tha Tiger' which leaves a scope for a sequel, the makers have denied any such move, reports Daily Bhaskar.

Salman's previous few films like 'No Entry', 'Wanted', 'Dabangg' will have sequels and there were chances of a second instalment for his latest offering 'Ek Tha Tiger' as well.

"We have not thought of a sequel for 'Ek Tha Tiger'. We don't have any idea (story line) for the sequel," Kabir said.

Even the producers have denied making a sequel. "With the success of the film, it would be the obvious conclusion for anybody to assume that the film deserves a sequel. However, as of now, there are no such plans and it is more conjecture," Yash Raj Films' vice president (marketing and communications) Rafiq Gangjee said.

Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer romantic action thriller 'Ek Tha Tiger' (released on Aug 15) garnered about Rs. 33 crore at the box office, on the first day of release.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Censor Board has banned the screening of the film in their country. Earlier, when the trailer of 'Ek Tha Tiger' was released, the Board had banned it claiming that it tarnishes the image of their intelligence agency ISI.

"It is a very unfortunate incident that the film will not be screened there. It does not show Pakistan in bad light," Kabir said
