BJD's 5th List For Assembly Polls Releases; Naveen To Fight From Kantabanji

The yet-to-be-titled film is directed by Shiv Rawail, who made his debut with the streaming series ‘The Railway Men’.

The film's producer, Aditya Chopra, is sparing no effort to make the first female-led spy universe film into an action spectacle.

The film also stars Bobby Deol as the antagonist.

Created by producer Aditya Chopra, the spy universe commenced with the ‘Tiger’ franchise, featuring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif.

It commenced with ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, followed by ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.

The success of these two films solidified Aditya’s belief to introduce two more larger-than-life agents: Kabir, portrayed by Hrithik Roshan in ‘War’, and ‘Pathaan’, portrayed by Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan.

‘Pathaan’ witnessed the crossover of characters from this ambitious spy universe, showcasing the union of SRK and Salman Khan in an action sequence that celebrated the superstardom of these cinematic icons.

In ‘Tiger 3’, Pathaan and Tiger reunite once more, with Kabir from the ‘War’ franchise also making an appearance towards the end credits, indicating that all actors from the spy universe could now be seen across different timelines.

The next film from the spy universe will be 'Pathaan 2', followed by 'Tiger vs Pathaan'.
