According to a recent media report, Salman Khan’s Tiger, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, and Hrithik Roshan‘s Kabir will be seen together for the first time in Ayan Mukerji’s upcoming spy film War 2. The film is slated to release on Republic Day 2025 and is a part of the YRF Spy Universe, which is an Indian shared universe centered on a series of spy action-thrillers, featuring various fictional RAW agents. The YRF Spy Universe was created by Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films.

“The muharat for War 2 has already happened. Ayan is looking at starting shooting for the film this month itself. While Hrithik Roshan is currently in Italy for Fighter, he will soon return to commence shooting for War 2. In the meantime, shooting with NTR Jr might begin. Kiara Advani has also been locked as the female lead for the action-thriller,” a source told the portal.
War 2 is a sequel to War (2019), which was directed by Siddharth Anand and featured Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff in lead roles with Vaani Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, and Anupriya Goenka playing supporting roles. It broke all opening day and weekend box office records for a Hindi film with its collections until it was surpassed by Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (2023).
