#SRK 30 years

[pixlerelish]

Thrills by SRK.

[eph-em-era]

Dunki included my favourite SRK trope: shove a bad wig on him to make him seem 20-30 years younger

and y'know what? It was great!

[cupidsbower]

JAWAN is so extra and i'm living for it

omg, Jawan!!!! so freaking good!

I'll admit, I was worried my expectations were too high. I'm usually pretty good at spotting a good film from the trailer - I can tell when a trailer is hiding trash, after being burned a bunch of times, and I can tell when it's genuinely got the goods. And Jawan's trailer was giving me all the right vibes - I loved it even more than the trailer for the first Venom movie.

But, I thought, can Jawan really be as good as my spidey-senses were telling me?

I put my money where my mouth was, and booked tickets the day they went on sale.

I strong-armed my entire household and my brother to go with me tonight, with all my fingers and toes crossed that I was right. It was a full house, and we had the best seats.

And WOW, wow wow wow, it was everything I hoped for and more!

Spectacular, cheesy, genuinely funny, fantastic stunts and dances, great soundtrack, interesting story that didn't take itself too seriously, and a fantastic surprise twist that I guessed just from the trailer, but was still executed in such a great way that I was cheering for it.

SRK works really hard not to show his age, but even so, he doesn't always quite pull off playing a 30-something. It doesn't matter, though. He's still so watchable, and the film does a great job of going so fast you don't care.

I can honestly say, it's the best action film I've seen in years.

What a great time! I highly recommend it! My only proviso is that it's an action film with a fair bit of blood and violence, so if that's not your bag, it's not for you.

I can't wait to see it again when it's on streaming. Definitely worth catching on the big screen with an audience, though -- the vibe of everyone having a good time was electric.

Pathaan Review

WARNING: contains spoilers and impure thoughts lol

When the opening scene showed Lahore, Pakistan, my sister and I burst out laughing because OF COURSE. Bollywood making Pakistani Muslims the bad guys?GROUNDBREAKING! 🙄

I was a bit nervous because I thought the film would be super nationalistic and anti-Pakistan because I did NOT spend $30 to watch desh bakht shit. But I’m glad it wasn’t like that because so many films in this genre are. Like, stop fucking preaching and being annoying.

SRK was absolutely fucking delicious. Each look was better than the last. There’s just something about a dirty, scrungly looking man and he made me weak af. Watching Besharam Rang on the big screen and seeing him shirtless? Especially when he ran to Deepika’s room looking like THAT? Whew! I was literally feeling like a dog in heat lmaoooo

His hairstyle was giving off Eren Jaeger vibes 1000% and that’s all I could think about.

Pathaan’s backstory about Afghanistan was really sweet and wholesome. I love how they all helped him in the end, because I kind of had a feeling that’s what was going on.

John Abraham as Jim, oh my godddd. He was so sexy and played a great villain. I’m so glad he’s lean again because that super muscular, beefcake look he had going on for a few years was not attractive. I felt really sorry for Jim and what happened to him. It was understandable why he became a villain. I thought it was an interesting detail that he basically had no loyalty to any country and was doing it for a personal reason instead.

When John does that cute winking and smiling thing...my weakness

Deepika. Lord. That woman is a goddess. She was absolutely badass. I like that she played a Pakistani character and how just because someone from her country is bad, doesn’t mean everyone else is and she doesn’t consider his actions as something Pakistan as a whole is doing/agrees with. Basically that guy alone is an extremist and she would never condone his actions because she actually loves her country just like Pathaan loves his. The way the Besharam Rang lyrics literally described her character and motives, I was shook.

When she was like “Trust me, Pathaan” with those puppy dog eyes? I was like “BABY I TAKE U BACK!”

I think SRK & Deepika had amazing chemistry and the sexual tension! Especially when he was changing her bandages. Sorry girl, but I would have let Pathaan hit it.

I know this website hates a certain Khan but I really enjoyed his special appearance and the banter between Tiger & Pathaan. The Karan Arjun reference!!! Too bad it was spoiled for me by Reddit, ugh.

Dimple Kapadia was so stunning! I want to age like her. I cried when her character died.

SRK singing “Tu Hai Meri Karen” and the “I love you, K-K-Karen” dialogue had me and my sister crying 😂

LOL OF COURSE PATHAAN SAVED THE DAY AT THE VERY LAST SECOND

I was nervous that Ashutosh Rana’s character was going to talk shit about Pakistan and say how we all suck at the end, but thankfully that didn’t happen.

The pre-credits scene of Pathaan & Tiger was absolutely fucking gold. It’s like, they were talking about their job as agents but also irl how they rule Bollywood and none of these hoes can reach their level. So meta.

Love how Pathaan said he was going to see his hairdresser to get shampoo but then stayed looking hobo af in the very next scene (the Jhoome Jo Pathaan song)

Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and it was great seeing my man back on the big screen after 6 years 🥰

I’m gonna gif the fuck out of it once the torrent drops~~~

★ Salman Khan locks his schedule for Vishnuvardhan’s next, Tiger vs Pathaan, & Sooraj Barjatya's film!

Aug 21, 2023   

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Salman Khan to play a paramilitary officer in Vishnuvardhan's next

Tiger vs Pathaan on floors by April 2024 with SRK and Salman

Sooraj Barjatya to roll with his family love story by end of 2024

Over the last few months, Salman Khan kept himself busy reading scripts from directors across the country. While Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3 were commitments made much before the pandemic, there have been speculations and discussions about what is next for Salman after the third film from the Tiger franchise, which releases this Diwali. Pinkvilla was among the first to inform that Salman has locked director Vishnuvardhan’s next action-packed thriller with Karan Johar as producer. And now, we bring to you an exclusive report on the shooting schedule of Salman Khan.

According to sources close to the development, Salman has already started prep work for Vishnuvardhan’s next, and aims to take the film on floors by mid-November. “Salman plays a paramilitary officer in Vishnuvardhan’s next film and has already gotten into the prep mode for the film. He will be sporting a certain look in the film, which also requires him to lose some weight, and its all work in progress at the moment,” revealed a source close to the development. The yet-untitled Vishnuvardhan film will be shot in multiple schedules and is expected to release on Christmas 2024 weekend.

“The first schedule will be around a month-long from mid-November to mid-December, following which Salman would take his year-end break. He returns to the sets by January 10 for another 30 to 45-day schedule before calling it a break on the film,” the source added. From March/April 2024, Salman will commence working on India’s biggest action film, Tiger vs Pathaan, a proper two-hero film that pairs him with Shah Rukh Khan. “The filming for Tiger vs Pathaan begins in Summer with combination dates of both SRK and Salman,” the source informed, quick to add that the duo will be shooting till the end of May on this epic action thriller.

According to the source, Salman is expected to resume work on the final schedule of Vishnuvardhan’s next in June and wrap up the film by July end. “This is the tentative schedule that has been chalked out for Salman. If there is a delay in the shoot of Tiger vs Pathaan from the already planned date, SK will complete Karan’s film by Summer and only then dive into Tiger vs Pathaan. At the moment, YRF is looking to kick off Tiger vs Pathaan from the end of March/early April and the shoot for Vishnuvardhan’s film has been planned keeping all aspects in mind,” the source insisted.

Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya's reunion to happen by 2024 end

On wrapping up the Dharma Film, Salman will resume Tiger vs Pathaan for his solo sequences and wrap it up by the end of 2024. “On wrapping up the two heavy-on action films, Salman will get into exploring his softer side with Sooraj Barjatya. The film is locked and will go on floors by the end of 2024/early 2025. It’s tentatively titled Prem Ki Shaadi and will be a family drama in the zone of the classics that SK and Sooraj Barjatya have made over the years. Sooraj will get into the casting of the film by end of this year,” the source shared, quick to add that Salman will be shooting for over 125 days for all the 3 films respectively.

He has been offered several other films, by filmmakers from Hindi as also Tamil and Telugu industries, but Salman is taking his time in locking the line-up. At the moment, the three confirmed projects are Vishnuvardhan’s next, Tiger vs Pathaan, and Prem Ki Shaadi with top 3 banners - Dharma, YRF, and Rajshri respectively.  Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Salman Khan and his upcoming films

I did not like the Annie and Hughie scene. Sorry. 

I get that they are trying to show Toxic Masculinity bad, but it doesn’t kind of work here. Hughie has never had a problem with Starlight being stronger than him. He has always been insecure about his abilities. Everyone in the group treats him as this useless tool, and it just reinforces that. Like last episode, when he asked MM and Butcher whether they want awkward, powerless Hughie, or supe Hughie who can take care of himself. 

That scene felt really forced. Really forced. The violence over the past three seasons has torn down his morality, and he just doesn’t think there’s any other way. And he’s right. 

What can they do about Homelander? Use diplomacy to stop him, blackmail him, take away public support, shame him out of existence? 

He doesn’t want to be one who needs to be saved every single time, who needs to be protected, the one who is a liability every time they are out on the field. He’s tired of that. I mean, yeah. If it comes down to a fight, which it most probably will, he doesn’t want to be the one hiding in a corner.

Okay genuinely asking

What srk 2000s movie is the best?

Like i was just listening to tumhe jo maine dekha and i realised that i don't even know what that movie is from and like everyone has seen them

so from which should I start?

~cupcake

Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha is from Main Hoon Na. How do you not know that? Jail. Jail.

Okay, so SRK from 2000 to 2010 is pretty much flawless era, except some movies which I don't remember. They are probably shit if I don't remember them.

Every single of these. And I mean, every single of them has a mind-blowing good album. Guaranteed two-three songs in each, which you will love for as long as you will live.

Main Hoon Na (2004) is quintessential Bollywood movie. It is the most bollywood movie to ever movie. You know. And somehow it still works, till this day. Soundtrack is first love vibes.

Om Shanti Om (2007), is another one of the same mould. Made by the same director, Farah Khan. Silly as fuck. Soundtrack is god-tier good.

Chak De India (2007) has probably SRK's greatest performance, along with Swades and My Name is Khan (onto them, later). You have probably seen this. I mean of course you have. The emotions this movie makes you feel, and the fact that it actually juggles multiple characters, and just ugh. I love this movie so much.

Kal Ho Na Ho (2003). That's it. Just watch it, if you haven't.

Veer-Zaara (2004). SRK had a very good 2004 btw. He was nominated for Best Actors for 3 different movies. Veer-Zaara is probably one of the best pure Romance movies, made in this country. Rani Mukherjee is so good. Fun fact, the soundtrack of this movie, uses compositions made by Madan Mohan, who had died in 1975. 30 years after his death.

Mohabbatein (2000). This movie is one of the major reasons I want to become a professor in a college in a hill station. Oddly similar to Dead Poets Society. Just like Koi Mil Gaya is very similar to ET.

Swades (2004). The least bollywood movie among the lot. His performance is iconic as hell. I love the pace of this movie so much. And I really love the romance-plot as well, because it doesn't feel overdone, or rushed.

My Name is Khan (2010). You have probably seen this already. It's a little overdramatic in the end. It's Karan Johar, what do you expect. But his performance is so good. So good. Features the greatest proposal scene in the history of cinema. The scene where he meets Jimmy Shergill after the latter's wife is attacked, will never not make me cry. Same goes for the scene, where he reunites with Mandira.

K3G (2001). YEAH.

Dil To Pagal Hai (1997). Everyone remembers the soundtrack of this movie. As they should, because it's fucking amazing. But the movie is so much more than the soundtrack. It's so good. Akshay Kumar is in it, as well.

ALSO.

How I remember these movies, has a lot to do with nostalgia. A LOT. If you have never seen them in your life, and you are watching them for the first time now, you are not going to enjoy yourself as much as I do. Some of them are problematic as fuck. Looking at you Mohabbatein. Move on you fucking weirdo, you are hallucinating your dead girlfriend of 10 years. These movies were a huge part of my childhood, so yeah, I remember them very fondly.

You know, ignore the quality of the movies and shows, and the oppressive practices that are used by making them, but aren’t MCU fans nauseated by the number of movies and shows. 

Every single month, there is a movie or show that is coming out. Every single month. How do you like, feel any excitement, or like just ugh. Aren’t you bored and tired.

[they-are-so-gender]

this is Shahrukh Khan propaganda

(apologies that he is a Real Guy but do allow me to propaganda a moment)

He is what makes his characters gender

S*lm*n Kh*n couldn't do Rahul but Shahrukh could do Aman yk yk

The Arm Thing

Half of his characters are bisexual, to me

Kantaben knows the real story in Kal Ho Naa Ho

This is also just general propaganda to get a wider audience into Hindi films since I think y'all would like them! They're a lot of fun :)

In lots of his movies he bleeds he just really wants to be a little action guy so bad but they made him be a romance guy for 30 years

One of his movies is still playing in theatres. It came out in 1995.

THE ARM THING

Similarly to how gender is a liquid, SRK has the range

I desperately want to be on a train and catch a girl as she is running towards me wearing a beautiful sari

I couldn't do the above point without Shahrukh Khan

At least one of his characters is canonically bi (Om of Om Shanti Om)

Do you think a cis person would wear a necklace with the word 🆒️ spelled out with individual charms? Exactly (look up Rahul KKHH for photo evidence)

arms

Thank you for your consideration

I think this would be valid since you mentioned his characters, I think you should specify which of his characters you would want to represent him tho.

Shah Rukh Khan goes shirtless flaunting his washboard abs and and leaving fans gasping for breath: “All that is good…”

Last year, SRK’s son Aryan Khan launched his luxury brand D’yavol X.

Shah Rukh Khan continues to break the internet. While last year he ruled the box office with three hits - Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki, he is yet to announce his next. But, that doesn't stop him from leaving the fans gasping for breath. The actor posted a shirtless photo on Instagram on Sunday which viral on the internet.

Flaunting his washboard abs, the actor was seen showcasing his long hair, donning black sunglasses and wearing bracelets and rings. He captioned the post, “All that is good but can I get some new clothes!!! When is the #DyavolX next drop??!!

Last year, SRK’s son Aryan Khan launched his luxury brand D’yavol X. For the ad campaign, Aryan directed his father and the luxury streetwear brand went live on their website on April 30, 2023.

In December 2022, Aryan Khan and co-founders Bunty Singh and Leti Blagoeva marked their foray into the luxury lifestyle business by unveiling D'YAVOL, their passion project. The three entrepreneurs aim to bring consumers the best global experiences and authentic products across fashion, beverages, and exclusive events.

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is yet to announce his next project but speculations are that he is working with Sujoy Ghosh for Red Chillies Entertainment’s next King, starring alongside Suhana Khan.

Dunki: Shah Rukh Khan's New Movie Box Office Collection on Day 1

Bollywood can be quite a rollercoaster, and Shah Rukh Khan's latest movie, Dunki, is no exception. Let's dive into the story of its first day at the box office. Dunki Movie Review: Fans Declare Dunki Better Than Pathaan and Jawan! Exciting Reunion: Akshay Kumar Welcomes Sanjay Dutt in “Welcome 3” Neru Movie Review: Mohanlal’s Return to Form in a Riveting Courtroom Drama

The Opening Day Story

A. What Happened? Dunki didn't start as strongly as we hoped. On the first day, it earned Rs 30 crore, making it the seventh-best opener of the year. But compared to Shah Rukh Khan's recent hits like Jawan and Pathaan, it falls a bit short. B. How Does It Compare? Even a movie like Adipurush, which didn't do so well, managed to earn more on its opening day. It's a bit disappointing for SRK fans, considering the buzz around Dunki.

Numbers Talk

A. Different Places, Different Stories Dunki's performance varied in different parts of India. The NCR region had a better response than Mumbai. But now, it faces a big challenge against Prabhas' Salaar, releasing in multiple languages. B. Clash with Salaar Salaar is giving Dunki a tough time. Early predictions suggest Salaar might make over Rs 60 crore on the first day, overshadowing Dunki's debut.

Looking Back and Looking Forward

A. How Does It Compare to Zero? While Dunki is not Shah Rukh Khan's best, it's still better than his 2018 movie, Zero. So, there's a mix of good and not-so-good news. B. Director's View For director Rajkumar Hirani, known for hits like Sanju, Dunki's start is not as strong. Sanju had a better opening, making us wonder about the movie's journey ahead.

Some Good News Amidst Challenges

A. A Promising Beginning Dunki's start is not all bad. Fans were excited, arranging early morning shows, creating a festive atmosphere. Even though it had a drop in the afternoon, it picked up in the evening, aiming for the 30 crore mark. B. The Fan Frenzy The energy around Dunki is evident, but it faces a new challenge with Salaar's arrival. The next few days will show us how Dunki stands its ground.

What's Next - Dunki vs. Salaar

A. The Big Test Dunki started with around 15,000 shows, but Salaar's arrival will impact the number of shows across the country. It's a showdown we're all waiting to see. B. The Unknown As Salaar hits theaters, we're not sure how the shows will be distributed. The reports are mixed, leaving us curious about Dunki's performance in the coming days. In the Bollywood world, Dunki's first day is a bit like a suspenseful movie. It's not a blockbuster start, but there's still hope amidst tough competition.

Q1. Why is Dunki's start considered not so great despite being a top opener of the year? A. Compared to Shah Rukh Khan's recent hits, Dunki's opening day is not as strong, causing some disappointment. Q2. How does Dunki compare to Shah Rukh Khan's 2018 movie, Zero? A. Dunki's start is better than Zero, which is a positive sign, but it's not reaching the heights of Shah Rukh Khan's recent successes. Q3. What challenges does Dunki face with Salaar's release? A. Dunki faces tough competition from Prabhas' Salaar, which might affect its performance at the box office. Q4. What made Dunki's start promising despite mixed reviews? A. The excitement around Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's collaboration, along with the enthusiastic response from fans, contributed to Dunki's promising start. Q5. How does Dunki fit into the current trends of Bollywood box office? A. Dunki's performance raises questions about changing audience preferences in Bollywood and the challenges faced by movies in today's landscape. Also checkout: Read the full article

Biggest Bollywood starts according to the box office post pandemic: Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, and Kartik Aaryan occupy the Top 5 spots.

1. Shah Rukh Khan – Rs. 543.05 cr.

No of films: 1 (Pathaan) The superstar had a poor run before the pandemic. But with Pathaan, he took a huge leap as it collected a huge Rs. 543.05 crores. Pathaan became the biggest Hindi grosser ever and SRK occupied the numero uno position.

2. Ranbir Kapoor – Rs. 149.66 cr.

No of films: 3 (Shamshera, Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar) Ranbir Kapoor’s comeback film after four years was Shamshera (2022). It failed to entice audiences but the much-awaited Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva (2022) thankfully met expectations. It collected Rs. 257.44 crores

3. Ajay Devgn – Rs. 118.51 cr.

No of films: 3 (Runway 34, Drishyam 2, Bholaa) Ajay Devgn’s directorial ventures, Runway 34 (2022) and Bholaa (2023), which also starred him in the lead, underperformed at the box office. But Drishyam 2 (2023) was a surprise blockbuster, earning Rs. 240.54 crores

4. Salman Khan – Rs. 112 cr.

No of films: 1 (Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan)

The Final Truth (2021). Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) was his proper full-fledged theatrical release after Dabangg 3 (2019). It opened well but then fell rapidly. However, his next film, Tiger 3, is quite hot in trade circles and among audiences.

5. Kartik Aaryan – Rs. 109.06 cr.

No of films: 2 (Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Shehzada) Kartik Aaryan emerged as the saviour of the industry as he delivered the blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) at a time when the industry was starved of a hit.

1. Shah Rukh Khan – Rs. 543.05 cr.

No of films: 1 (Pathaan) The superstar had a poor run before the pandemic. But with Pathaan, he took a huge leap as it collected a huge Rs. 543.05 crores. Pathaan became the biggest Hindi grosser ever and SRK occupied the numero uno position.

The Final Truth (2021). Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) was his proper full-fledged theatrical release after Dabangg 3 (2019). It opened well but then fell rapidly. However, his next film, Tiger 3, is quite hot in trade circles and among audiences.

5. Kartik Aaryan – Rs. 109.06 cr.

No of films: 2 (Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Shehzada) Kartik Aaryan emerged as the saviour of the industry as he delivered the blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) at a time when the industry was starved of a hit.

6. Hrithik Roshan – Rs. 78.66 cr.

No of films: 1 (Vikram Vedha) The superstar was seen in Vikram Vedha (2022) and though a lot was expected from this action thriller, it performed below expectations.

7. Varun Dhawan – Rs. 75.84 cr.

No of films: 2 (JugJugg Jeeyo, Bhediya) Both films of Varun Dhawan were average grossers. However, at a time when films of the biggest of actors struggled to even cross the Rs. 30 crore mark, the performance of both JugJugg Jeeyo (2022) and Bhediya (2022) are praiseworthy.

8. Akshay Kumar – Rs. 68.25 cr.

No of films: 7 (Bellbottom, Sooryavanshi, Bachchhan Paanday, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, Selfiee) The talented performer delivered the maximum number of films by any actor post-pandemic. While Sooryavanshi (2021) was a super-hit collecting Rs. 196 crores, Ram Setu (2022) was an average grosser.

9. Aamir Khan – Rs. 58.73 cr.

No of films: 1 (Laal Singh Chaddha) Aamir Khan’s films were known to break records. Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), however, had a disappointing run in cinemas

No of films: 3 (’83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Cirkus) After a great 2018 and 2019, Ranveer Singh went through a tough phase post-pandemic. ’83 collected Rs. 109.02 crores but was still a flop due to the high costs.

A PERFECT ILLUSTRATION OF 'THE WORLD OF HINDI CINEMA' ! A STORY OF THE 'FLOP INDIAN FILM' THAT SOLD 8 TIMES MORE TICKETS THAN 'DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAYENGE' ABROAD ! A STORY OF THE POWER OF 'NRI INDIA' !

THE STORY OF, BY FILMY MILES, THE BIGGEST 'OVERSEAS BOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER' OF THE PAST 3 DECADES....THAT NO ONE TOLD YOU ABOUT! Indian Cinema, most of all Hindi Cinema, has since early 1950's had an inadvertently huge market abroad, starting with it's oldest cultural pal, The Soviet Union, expanding by the 60's to East Africa, making it's grand way into Canada in 70's, & finally settling in the US & UK NRI fold. Indian megastars like Rajesh Khanna are known to infact till today be worshipped in many East African film belts, as also hugely revered in Canada! And people like Raj Kapoor (who we at Indies, by research now know, made a killing outta 'Mera Naam Joker' from Rus theaters, earning upto 70 times more than his previous best there, 'Awaara'!) were historic draws in Rus, as also Ashok Kumar, whose craze is said to be quite underestimated among 60's Russian crowds! Dya know there are 30% more Hindi/Bollywood movies in the Russian All-Time Blockbusters List, than even Hollywood! And now finally onto...British mkt!- Always fan of Bolly,esp turning most lucrative by the demographic shift of 90's,& SRK 'tis said benefitting most outta, landing up per Indies as 4th All-Time most selling Indian actor there, after Rajesh Khanna,Vinod Khanna & Dilip Kumar! But this blog isn't about SRK, but the one that beat him, infact that gave him a quiet giant walloping! So giant & so quiet, no one till today shall tell you! Come 1991, & Yash Chopra releases a rather beautiful & altogether heavenly sounding film called 'Lamhe'! - Of a teenager from the super rich Indian Zamindar class, studying abroad, who returns to his ancestral home for holidays, to get infatuated with a woman,quite older. Only to learn of her impending marriage.& that he lands up helping get married.

Logically,not incestuous by miles. Yet,for the deeply traditional Indian make,that was taboo,& shunned at bo. Yet for Indians abroad,more used to this 'age diff',& given it's highly rich deeply artistic make,that turned an all-time classic,earning 8 times more than(a Britain based)DDLJ!

★It’s going to be Salman Khan v/s Shah Rukh Khan as Aditya Chopra plans a Tiger v/s Pathaan film!

February 16, 2023 

Exactly 30 years after Karan Arjun, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan will feature in an epic two hero action film in the YRF Spy Universe.  On August 15, 2012, Salman Khan took charge as Tiger aka. Avinash Singh Rathore in Ek Tha Tiger, and followed it up with Tiger Zinda Hai in 2017. A year later, in 2019, Hrithik Roshan made an impact as agent Kabir in War. All the three films proved to be huge blockbusters and also highest grossing film of the respective years. In the same time frame Aditya Chopra had locked an independent spy film, Pathaan, with Shah Rukh Khan in lead. The success of three spy films motivated the visionary producer to come up with the first ever Spy Universe of Indian Cinema with the biggest names of the Indian Film Industry. All three YRF Spy Universe films are now the biggest IP’s in Indian cinema!

The crossover of characters from this ambitious spy universe started with Pathaan, which saw a union of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in an action-packed scene celebrating the aura of these two superstars. This Diwali, Salman Khan returns as Tiger in Tiger 3 and the film has an extended cameo from Shah Rukh Khan.

Aditya Chopra locks the first draft of Shah Rukh Khan – Salman Khan two hero film

Coming to the point, on July 5, 2022 - Pinkvilla was the first to report that Yash Raj Films is planning to make the biggest action film of Indian cinema with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in lead. And now, we have exclusively learnt that the two-hero film is on track as planned and the basic story too has been locked.

“The plot of this epic two hero crossover film featuring Tiger and Pathaan has been locked. The film will be the first proper 2 hero collaboration for the two mighty Khan’s since the release of Karan Arjun in 1995. The story of this Tiger – Pathaan two hero film has been developed by Aditya Chopra himself along with Shridhar Raghavan, who has been appointed by Adi as the Mentor Writer of the haloed YRF Spy Universe,” revealed a trade source.

It's going to be Tiger v/s Pathaan in YRF Spy Universe

When prodded to share more details on this biggest Indian film, the source added, “It’s going to be Tiger v/s Pathaan in this two-hero film. The film will be a face off between the two giant superstars of Indian Cinema, much like what happened between Iron Man and Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Batman vs Superman from the DC Universe

While a team at YRF is presently working on the post production and VFX of Tiger 3, all the energies on the creative front are invested in locking the screenplay of this Tiger v/s Pathaan film, which will be this union of SRK and Salman on a two-hero film after 30 years (Karan Arjun release in 1995).

The actors in YRF Spy Universe

Apart from SRK and Salman, the YRF Spy Universe also has superstar Hrithik Roshan as Kabir, who will also cross path with Pathaan and Tiger at some point of time. The franchise has two female protagonists too – Zoya (Katrina Kaif) and Rubai (Deepika Padukone) – and Shridhar Raghavan, in an official interaction with Pinkvilla, had not ruled out the possibility of a probable crossover between the two female protagonists too.

The fan-favourite anti-heroes John Abraham (Jim) and Tiger Shroff (Khalid) too are a part of this spy universe. Having the biggest superstars of Indian Cinema on board, and many more to be added in the time to come, the YRF Spy Universe is all set to dominate Indian Cinema for the coming years.
