Tiger Vs Pathaan and Salman Khan-Shah Rukh Khan Fees Issue:
Reports suggest that Tiger Vs Pathaan, the much-hyped face-off between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, has been shelved for now due to financial concerns. According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, the project became difficult to mount because of the massive budgets involved, especially the high fees of the two superstars.

A source quoted by the publication stated, “If both the Khans had agreed to take a discount, Tiger Vs Pathaan could have been possible despite War 2 flopping. But the budgets and fees being what they are, the #SpyUniverse seems to have come up against a wall.” The comment hints that the overall cost of production, combined with star remuneration, made the film a risky proposition.
The film was planned as a major installment in the YRF Spy Universe, which includes blockbusters like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, and Pathaan. The idea of bringing Salman Khan’s Tiger and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan together had generated huge excitement among fans after their crossover moments in previous films.

However, industry trade reports suggest that rising production costs and uncertain box office trends have forced studios to rethink big-budget ventures. While there has been no official confirmation from Yash Raj Films, the shelving reports have disappointed many fans who were eagerly waiting to see the two Khans share full-fledged screen space.
For now, both actors remain busy with their individual projects, and it remains to be seen whether Tiger Vs Pathaan will be revived in the future under different financial terms. If it happens, it will be the biggest film of YRF for sure.
