As per the reports from Indian entertainment outlets, the next story in YRF’s spy universe, set after the third and second instalments in the ‘Tiger’ and ‘War’ franchises respectively, ‘Tiger Vs Pathaan’, has been shelved for the time being.
Reportedly, the Siddharth Anand directorial, which was to go on the floors next year, has been put off by the makers, due to budget issues.
It all began with an industry insider’s post on the micro-blogging site X, on Sunday, which read, “BREAKING: A BIG FEATURE FILM IN HINDI BY TOP DIRECTOR IS SHELVED DUE TO BUDGET ISSUES.”

Reacting to the post, an Indian Box Office analyst, replied suggesting that the title in discussion is the Khans’ collaboration, “Tiger v Pathaan.”
Meanwhile, another post by a film journalist further led to speculations of the title being shelved. “Hearing again that a mega film of 2024 will release in first quarter of 2025. Not naming as it leads to reactions from makers & team. But the delay in release has been officially conveyed to the OTT partners,” the journalist wrote, concluding with a hashtag ‘Let’s see’.
