Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of his much-awaited spy-thriller Tiger 3, which is expected to release on Diwali. The film is super-high on a buzz after Yash Raj Films connected the three spy worlds of Hrithik Roshan‘s War, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, and Tiger 3 together for a much bigger spy universe. However, what if we tell you that this was Aditya Chopra’s strong power of manifestation after all, which came true at last?

Wait till we break it down for you. Once upon a time, after Kabir Khan was done with New York for Yash Raj Films, he started working on Ek Tha Tiger. When the script was almost ready to roll, YRF pitched the film to Shah Rukh Khan, who loved the idea of a spy film. He was prepared to be the Tiger they wanted, but fate had other plans.

The film got delayed, and SRK had to move to Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan. He already had done Don, and he was not sure about switching his genre to so many action films at a time. Moreover, his dates were with Yash Chopra. So he passed the film and recommended Salman Khan for the same.
