Salman Khan, who had worked with masala director David Dhawan in the 2007 film Partner, subsequently had a fall out with Dhawan during the release of the film, following which the two were not on talking terms.

However, now that Dhawan is planning a sequel to Partner and needs Salman Khan back in the game, so to speak, it seems that the director is planning to approach Sohail Khan to mediate between the two and convince Sallu to let bygones be bygones. A source attached to the film was quoted saying that work on the sequel has already begun but as Salman has refused to work with Dhawan, the latter will take Sohail's help to broker peace between the two.

A desi remake of Will Smith starrer Hitch, the Salman-Katrina Kaif-Govinda starrer Partner was about a date guru who helps a bumbling buffoon win over the object of his affection.

Actor-filmmaker Sohail Khan is overjoyed at the stupendous opening of Ek Tha Tiger and says that it's the best Eidi, Salman Khan's fans could give him.

Sohail was quoted saying that it's the happiest feeling anyone can have. Sohail adds that he has seen the film and finds it superb. According to him, it's the best Eidi that Salman Khan's fans could give him.

According to the latest reports, Ek Tha Tiger has done a whopping business of 32.95 crore rupees in India alone on the opening day, breaking the record set by Agneepath that collected 25 crore rupees on the 1st day.

Sohail also added that the film's success is a proof that Salman is a true tiger.
