According to Indian media sources, as Ek Tha Tiger is on the verge of release, promotions are about to begin in full swing. At the same time “Dhoom 3” team which includes Kaif along with Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Uday Chopra will be leaving for their shooting in Chicago on August 4.

Khan’s persistent efforts on Kaif to be alongside him in all the promotional campaigns left the filmmakers with no option but relent to the Superstar’s demand and allow Kaif to join the Chicago schedule of Dhoom 3 only after August 15.

Sources said, "Salman wants to do all the film's promotions with Katrina. Agreed, she is the female lead but a lot of times, due to simultaneous shooting schedules, actresses do skip a few promotions else do them in advance.”

“For instance, Kareena could not make it for all the promotional events of Bodyguard as she was shooting endlessly for RA.One. that was close to release at the time,” added by a source.

Ek Tha Tiger is scheduled to be released on August 15.
