The YRF Spy Universe is far from reaching its conclusion. Widhani enthusiastically stated, “There’s a lot more to come for the Spy Universe. We’ll be seeing more and more films being made under this banner.”
Fans can look forward to the upcoming War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan alongside NTR Jr and Kiara Advani. Additionally, Pathaan 2 and Tiger vs Pathaan are in the pipeline, further expanding the thrilling world of YRF spies.
A Twist in the Timeline
Earlier reports revealed an intriguing twist in the Spy Universe timeline. Sources close to the production shared that Pathaan 2 will predate the highly anticipated Tiger vs Pathaan. This strategic move aims to pave the way for the clash of these two legendary characters on the big screen. Given the immense audience demand for more of Shah Rukh Khan’s captivating portrayal of Pathaan, a standalone sequel was greenlit soon after the film’s record-breaking release in January 2023.
