Yash Raj Films Confirms Upcoming Films In The Spy Universe

Mumbai, April 4 - Yash Raj Films is building its Spy Universe featuring some of the biggest stars of Bollywood. It all started with Salman Khan-fronted Ek Tha Tiger (2012) before he reprised his role in the sequel Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). Both movies were huge blockbusters which fueled YRF to take the franchise to another level.

In 2019, the studio released the third film in the Spy Universe, War-fronted by Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. It continued the blockbuster run before Shah Rukh Khan-fronted Pathaan (2023) took the Spy Universe to next level and turned out to be the biggest blockbuster.



Pathaan was the first film in this blockbuster series in which characters from previous films were introduced. While there was a reference to Hrithik's Kabir in the film, Salman Khan played a vital cameo as Tiger. The third installment of Tiger is already in the making and is scheduled to release on Diwali 2023.

Directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 will have SRK's cameo as Pathaan, and the events of this film will set up the stage for Hrithik Roshan's War 2 which will be the next film in the Spy Universe, YRF has confirmed (via Taran Adarsh). It will be directed by Ayan Mukerji and this will be his first directorial in the Spy Universe.

War 2 will likely have Salman and SRK's cameos as Tiger and Pathaan. It will start filming later this year and be released in 2024. After War 2, YRF will start the biggest movie of the Spy Universe and possibly the biggest in Indian cinema, Tiger Vs Pathaan which might be the swan song of one of the actors in the Spy series.

There is no director named yet for this mega movie which will pitch Salman's Tiger and SRK's Pathaan against each other. It will start rolling next year and be released in 2025 on a grand scale worldwide. As of now, these aforementioned films confirmed in the Spy Universe but there are talks happening about the spin-off film of John Abraham's Jim, an ex-RAW agent and the main antagonist of Pathaan. We might get the official announcement regarding this particular movie close to or after War 2.
