Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan
Contrary to the news report that claimed that Aditya Chopra was going to host a joint narration of 'Tiger Vs Pathaan' for Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan at YRF, we have exclusive information that the much-awaited film has already been narrated to the two superstars in two separate meetings more than a month back!
We can also confirm that after Aditya Chopra narrated the film to the mega-stars, the script has been locked for the team of Tiger vs Pathaan to start prep in November for the shoot to commence in March next year!
"Tiger vs Pathaan's script is locked after the two mega-stars of Hindi cinema gave their nod to the script. This film is a huge milestone moment because it sees the two giants of Indian cinema to come together for a full-fledged film after their box office juggernaut Karan Arjun. They had to first love the script and get convinced that it has the goods to satisfy the expectations of people about their big on-screen reunion. Aditya Chopra held individual meetings with SRK and Salman respectively and narrated the film to them. The superstars have loved the story and the film will now go on floors in March!" reveals a trade source.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, 'Tiger vs Pathaan' is touted to be the biggest film that India has ever produced. It is part of the fabled YRF Spy Universe which kicked off with the Tiger franchise, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, beginning with Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), and continued with War (2019), starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff.
