Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan To Get Huge Profit Share In 'Tiger vs Pathaan'?

Mumbai, April 10 - The Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe is one of the most talked about topics in the media currently. It won't be exaggerated to say that it is the biggest movie brand in India at the moment with the kind of star power it features. ## There is no doubt that the upcoming films in the Spy Universe are carrying huge expectations after Shah Rukh Khan-fronted "Pathaan" turned out to be an insane blockbuster, grossing over 1000 crores worldwide. It became the first and only film to score 500+ crores net in a single language in India. ## "Pathaan" featured an ultimate big theatrical moment with a cameo of Salman as Tiger who teamed up with Pathaan to take on baddies. The fans are now looking forward to seeing the duo sharing the screen again in "Tiger 3" in which SRK will play the cameo. It is scheduled to release on Diwali this year.## The moviegoers and the industry are much more kicked about the biggest film of YRF "Tiger vs Pathaan" which will feature Salman and SRK in full-fledged roles together for the first time since "Karan Arjun" (1995). It is arguably the most anticipated Indian film and is guaranteed to make a huge impact when it will release.## Meanwhile, interesting info has been revealed regarding the remuneration of both the superstars in "Tiger vs Pathaan". According to Bollywood Hungama, both Salman and SRK will be sharing the profit in the film, which is not a big thing but it has been reported that they will get a 40% profit share each which is huge. ## The report further revealed that Yash Raj Films will get a 20% profit share which seems too little but it'll still mean a lot of moolah given the anticipated size of the profits. It is said that YRF is expecting Tiger Vs Pathaan to emerge as a bigger blockbuster than Pathaan, which means the profits will also be bigger.## "Tiger vs Pathaan" will be helmed by Siddharth Anand who also directed "Pathaan". The shooting for the same will begin in January 2024 and be released in 2025. Before "Tiger vs Pathaan", "War 2" will go on floors later this year. It will be headlined by Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. ## The Spy Universe has been providing thrilling experiences to audiences since 2012 when Salman Khan-fronted "Ek Tha Tiger" was released.
