'Tiger Vs Pathaan': Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan gives Thumbs Up for Film; Shoot To Begin in March 2024

'Tiger Vs Pathaan': Contrary to earlier reports that suggested a joint narration of the script for "Tiger Vs Pathaan" was in the works for Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan at Yash Raj Films (YRF), we have exclusive information that the script has already been presented to both superstars in separate meetings over a month ago.

We can now confirm that Aditya Chopra, the visionary filmmaker and head of YRF, personally narrated the script to these two icons of Hindi cinema. Following this, the script has been finalized, paving the way for pre-production to kick off in November. The much-anticipated shooting for "Tiger vs. Pathaan" is set to commence in March of the coming year.

An industry insider revealed, "Tiger Vs Pathaan's script is now locked in, as both these mega-stars of Bollywood have given their enthusiastic approval. This project holds immense significance as it reunites two giants of Indian cinema in a full-fledged film, reminiscent of their previous blockbuster, 'Karan Arjun.' The key was for them to resonate with the script and be convinced that it could live up to the colossal expectations surrounding their on-screen reunion. Aditya Chopra meticulously conducted individual script narrations for SRK and Salman, and both superstars have wholeheartedly embraced the story. With their green light, the film is all set to go on floors in March!"
