It is the clash of the titans. Siddharth Anand is set to direct the ultimate showdown: Tiger (Salman Khan) vs Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan). This is the 'Civil War' moment of the YRF Spy Universe.
The Story So Far
After the events of Tiger 3, seeds of discord have been sown. A misunderstanding, or perhaps a manipulation by a mastermind villain, pits the two super-spies against each other. The film will see them hunting each other across multiple continents before presumably uniting against a common threat.
Scale and Budget
Aditya Chopra is pulling out all stops. The budget is rumored to be over ₹300 Crores just for production (excluding star fees). Action directors from Hollywood (reputed for work on Marvel and Mission Impossible) have been hired to design the hand-to-hand combat sequences.
Who is the Villain?
While Tiger and Pathaan fight each other, the real puppet master is rumored to be played by a Hollywood A-lister or a top-tier Indian star like Kamal Haasan (though he is currently in Kalki).
