Fans are eagle-eyed on Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan starrer Tiger v/s Pathaan since its announcement. However, reports indicate that the spy thriller has been shelved by Yash Raj Films due to high star fees. Positioned as India’s biggest action film, Tiger v/s Pathaan promises high-octane drama. According to Deccan Chronicle’s report, Aditya Chopra’s production house has put the film on hold for the moment. The major challenge of the film was the remuneration of the two stars.

An informed source close to the development stated, “If both the Khans had agreed to take a discount, Tiger Vs Pathaan could have been possible despite Yash Raj’s ‘War 2’ flopping. But the budgets being what they are, thanks mainly to star fees, the Spy Universe seems to have come up against a wall.”
