As per a report by Bollywood Hungama, Aditya Chopra wants to turn the cinematic moment huge and unexpected in both scale and storyline. While earlier it was expected that after Tiger 3, it would be War 2 which would ultimately lead the story to Tiger Vs Pathaan, now, Aditya will be adding a new twist to the timeline of YRF Spy Universe by making a new film before setting up a fierce face-off between Tiger and Pathaan.
A source was quoted as saying, “YRF Spy Universe has become a huge draw for audiences worldwide as seen in the box office result that this franchise has delivered. Adi realises the sky-high expectations that every film from this spy universe currently has and he is adding a new twist to the timeline!”
Furthermore, as per a trade source, Aditya wants to set up the mega clash of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, two of India’s biggest cinematic icons, with a film that will be a precursor to the violent face-off in Tiger vs Pathaan.
“He will make a film that interconnects the YRF Spy Universe further before the ultimate showdown!” informed the trade source.
