Earlier, the fans of Sidharth were disappointed with him not directing ‘War 2’ — the sequel to his 2019 blockbuster directorial when Ayan Mukerji was given the charge as the director but, it seems like producer Aditya Chopra is entrusting Sid with a bigger responsibility having seen his brilliant work of extracting the best out of SRK and Salman in the cross-over scene from ‘Pathaan’ and also looking at his brilliant track record at the box-office considering his blockbuster hattrick with ‘Bang Bang!’, ‘War’ and ‘Pathaan’.

The source further mentioned, “YRF’s war chest and its entire creative might is ready to roll out a film that should go down in the history of Indian cinema as a record-smashing blockbuster.”

YRF Spy Universe is now one the biggest IPs in Indian cinema.

According to the timeline, Salman Khan’s leadership of Tiger in “Ek Tha Tiger” in 2012 marked the beginning of the YRF espionage universe. Salman returned to the super-spy persona in the 2017 film “Tiger Zinda Hai.” In the 2019 film “War,” Hrithik Roshan debuted as the dapper super-spy Kabir. Shah Rukh Khan introduced the super-agent Pathaan in “Pathaan,” which became a massive international hit.

However, the crossover of spies from this universe only began with ‘Pathaan’ in what will go down in the pages of history as one of the best cinematic moments of mainstream Hindi cinema.
