About YRF Spy Universe
The shared universe started with a certain film series and was then expanded to encompass similar characters, settings, actors, and story points. In his first spy movie, Ek Tha Tiger, which was released in 2012, and its sequel, Tiger Zinda Hai, which was released in 2017, Salman Khan plays an R&AW officer. Hrithik Roshan portrays a renegade RAW agent in the 2019 film War.
Owner of the production firm Aditya Chopra and filmmaker Siddharth Anand talked about merging these movies and creating a single universe by bringing the RAW characters back together before making War. However, War was made as a stand-alone movie with no obvious references to the other two Tiger films, which lends credence to the idea of providing a solid foundation for the War actors prior to a true crossover.
The first film to feature characters from both the Tiger and War series is Pathaan (2023), directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Shah Rukh Khan as the main and a RAW officer. It’s the first-ever YRF crossover film and the fourth entry in the SPY Universe.
