According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, a source close to the production team revealed that Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif will also be joining Shah Rukh and Salman for the same. They would be reprising their roles. “Everything is locked for Pathaan Vs Tiger. In fact, the makers are looking to commence work in January next year, with Siddharth Anand directing the venture.

Since the title is Pathaan Vs Tiger, fans have been wondering if SRK and Salman going head-to-head. However, the source cleared the rumours and added, “Though the title is Pathaan Vs Tiger the film will not be based on a rivalry between the two spies.
