‘Tiger vs. Pathaan,’ the crossover movie starring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, faces a potential delay. While there were previous indications suggesting the project was on hold, new information suggests Yash Raj Films (YRF) is concentrating on reshaping the film’s creative direction instead of cancelling it.
Reports suggest that YRF’s Aditya Chopra is re-evaluating the studio’s spy universe due to the risk of creative repetition. The aim is to provide a fresh narrative and presentation for the franchise. This entails significant adjustments to the future plans of the franchise. This strategy does not intend to scrap current projects, but to make certain that upcoming movies like ‘Tiger vs. Pathaan’ adopt a fresh creative vision, and to prevent the stagnation of storytelling.
The YRF Spy Universe started with Salman Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (2012) and continued with ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ (2017), ‘War’ (2019), and ‘Pathaan’ (2023), which introduced Shah Rukh Khan as RAW agent Pathaan. The universe has expanded with ‘Tiger 3,’ ‘War 2,’ and the forthcoming ‘Alpha,’ starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh.
Salman Khan’s recent film was ‘Sikandar,’ while Shah Rukh Khan is scheduled to appear in ‘King.’
