Emraan Hashmi‘s first international venture ‘TIGERS’ directed by Oscar Award winning director Danis Tanovic has got the golden opportunity to host its world premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 8.

‘TIGERS’ plot is based on the true story of a salesman Ayan, played by Emraan, secures a job in a prestigious multinational company after a series of struggle. His job is to do the marketing of infant formula milk, a substitute for breast milk. But when he finds out about the damage of this formula milk on babies, he stands up against this mighty corporation.

Though, ‘TIGERS’ landing will take place pretty well on the red carpet of Toronto, the film didn’t took off well in its initial days. Due to its highly controversial topic none of the Hollywood producers were ready to bag the project as they suspected legal possibilities from the corporation. Also, the film faced misfortune when a production house who agreed to produce the film got shut down just few weeks before the filming was about to begin in early 2007. But ‘TIGERS’ found a way out when two Indian producers Prashita Chaudary and Guneet Monga came forward to cash the film. Fighting all the battles Emraan’s film is ready for its world premiere at TIFF.

Best known for their off-screen friendship Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have now come to the clashing point. It’s not over any controversial dispute but the two leading Khans of the industry will face-off each other on small screen with their respective TV shows ‘Satyameva Jayate- Season 3’ and ‘Bigg Boss 8’. They will be aired on the same date of September 21.

Even though the date is same, Khans have seen to it that they won’t steal each others fans. As Aamir’s ‘Satymeva Jayate’ will be aired in the morning slot, while Salman’s ‘Bigg Boss’ will come in the evening slot. Plus, both the shows have different set of target audience. Where Aamir’s show is based on the social issues, Salman’s show is all about entertainment and controversies. Also, ‘Satyameva Jayate’ will be telecasted once a week on Sunday, ‘Bigg Boss’ will be projected everyday.

Well, Khans might have smartly avoided their clashes to an extent, but they can’t keep away from the battle of TRP’s!
