A still from the film

Ever since reports of Ayan Mukerji being roped in to helm War 2 hit headlines, industry folk have been keen to know the reason behind Siddharth Anand’s absence from the project. Anand, who directed the first edition of the Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff-starrer, however, has bigger films in his kitty. We hear the director, who delivered a blockbuster in Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, has been roped in for YRF’s spy action-thriller, Tiger vs Pathaan. This offering brings Salman Khan and SRK together in a full-fledged film over 30 years after the release of Karan Arjun. Currently being scripted, the two Khans starrer is slated to go on floors after Siddharth wraps up Fighter, his aerial action thriller with Hrithik Roshan. Interestingly, Tiger vs Pathaan is slated to release in 2025, the year when Salman and SRK will celebrate their diamond birthdays. Born less than two months apart in 1965, the two Khans will turn 60 when their next feature together arrives in theatres. But then, as they say, Dilli abhi door hai.
