Aditya Chopra is surely building the YRF Spy Universe brick by brick no doubt. His next offering is ‘Tiger 3’ and it has a powerful ensemble of cast like Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi in the leads.
Today YRF has finally launched the first poster of ‘Tiger 3’ and it promises an insane, jaw-dropping action spectacle as two super-spies Salman and Katrina take on their most deadly mission yet.
Tiger aka Salman Khan is the OG of the YRF Spy Universe as ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (2012) silently put the plan in motion to create slick super-spies that Indian cinema has never seen before. It was ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’s (2017) success that cemented Aditya Chopra’s belief that he could incorporate two more larger-than-life agents Kabir aka Hrithik Roshan in ‘War’ (2019) and Pathaan aka Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Pathaan’ (2023) into his ambitious plans.
It was in ‘Pathaan’ that Aditya Chopra officially revealed that he was building the YRF Spy Universe, which is now the biggest IP in Indian cinema. The crossover of characters from this ambitious spy universe also started with ‘Pathaan’, which saw a union of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in an adrenaline pumping action sequence that celebrated the superstardom of these two cinematic icons.
YRF has officially revealed in the first poster of ‘Tiger 3’ that the plot of this film, the fifth from the blockbuster YRF Spy Universe, will follow the events of ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, ‘War’ and ‘Pathaan’. It signals YRF’s intent to tell audiences and fans that every film featuring these super-spies will be interconnected.
Salman Khan’s last release, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ (2023) tanked at the box office and also failed to impress the critics, trade experts and even fans of Salman. The film could only earn a bit over Rs. 110 Crore throughout its run in the theaters in India.
