Fans of Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are in for a treat as the iconic duo is all set to make a comeback together on the silver screen after a substantial hiatus. According to reports, they will be seen sharing the screen in the highly anticipated movie “Tiger vs. Pathaan,” and shooting is scheduled to commence from March next year.
A source, as quoted by Pinkvilla, revealed, “The script was narrated to Shah Rukh Khan and Salman separately in different meetings by Aditya Chopra, and it has been an instant thumbs up for both the giants. ‘Tiger vs. Pathaan’ will unleash a different dynamic of two super spies, Tiger and Pathaan, and both Salman and Shah Rukh are excited for a face-off in this Siddharth Anand directorial.”
Preparations for this monumental cinematic event are already in motion, with the team of “Tiger vs. Pathaan” set to begin their pre-production work in November this year, right after the release of “Tiger 3” during Diwali. The extensive five-month preparation period will pave the way for filming, scheduled to kick off in March 2024.
This epic collaboration is expected to be one of the most significant films ever produced in Indian cinema. It is a vital component of the acclaimed Yash Raj Films (YRF) Spy Universe, which initially launched with the successful “Tiger” franchise featuring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, starting with “Ek Tha Tiger” (2012) and followed by “Tiger Zinda Hai” (2017). The universe expanded with “War” (2019), starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. “Tiger vs. Pathaan” promises to be a monumental addition to this cinematic universe, setting the stage for an unparalleled cinematic showdown between two of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
