The YRF spy universe started with Salman Khan’s Tiger franchise. The first film, Ek Tha Tiger, featuring Salman and Katrina Kaif, was released in 2012. The next one was Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). Following the success of the genre, the makers came up with War in 2019. The Siddharth Anand directorial featured Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff in key roles.

And, then came Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which was also helmed by Siddharth Anand. Deepika Padukone and John Abraham were part of the project. Pathaan became the highest-grossing Hindi film in history. Fans were in for a treat when Salman Khan’s Tiger showed up to save SRK aka Pathaan. Shah Rukh Khan will also make a cameo appearance in Tiger 3.

Ayan Mukerji’s last film Brahmastra: Part 1 was among the hits of 2022. His debut film was the 2009 Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Wake Up Sid. His 2013 romcom, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, was much loved by fans and critics alike.
