Tiger vs Pathaan: Aditya Chopra locks the budget of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s film at THIS staggering amount

The Bollywood film industry has gotten off to a roaring start in 2023. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan became an all-time classic and the first Hindi film to cross the Rs. 500 crore mark. In addition to SRK's stunning comeback, the movie was also the talk of the town because Deepika Padukone and John Abraham were in it, as well as because of the soundtrack, slick trailers, and enormous scale. Last but not least, Salman Khan made a cameo in the movie, which caused a frenzy in theatres. 

The popularity of Pathaan encouraged Yash Raj Films (YRF) to move up the production of Tiger vs. Pathaan. As per recent reports, it’ll be directed by Siddharth Anand, who also directed Pathaan as well as War.

Now, a source told Bollywood Hungama, “This film is mounted on a huge scale. As a result, its budget will be sky-high. Aditya Chopra and his team have locked the budget of Tiger vs Pathaan at Rs. 300 crores. This figure doesn’t include star fees as both of them have opted for profit share.” The source further added, “This means that Tiger vs Pathaan’s cost will be more than that of Pathaan and Tiger 3. It also means that Tiger vs Pathaan will be one of the costliest films to come out of Bollywood.”

An industry insider said, “This figure is absolutely justified. Pathaan collected more than Rs. 1000 crores at the box office worldwide and also earned a decent moolah through the sale of television and digital rights. Tiger vs Pathaan, obviously, has all the chances of earning more than Pathaan. Moreover, Aditya Chopra and Siddharth Anand will have to scale up the action, VFX, etc and all this requires money. There’s no doubt that Tiger vs Pathaan will truly be a grand cinematic experience.”
