About YRF Spy Universe
The YRF Spy Universe, created by Aditya Chopra, revolves around Indian super spies, each introduced in their own standalone films. The franchise unofficially began with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012, followed by Tiger Zinda Hai and War.
Initially unconnected, the films shared similar themes but were not part of a cohesive universe. This changed during the pandemic when the idea of a shared universe emerged.
In 2023, Pathaan officially united the franchise through crossovers and cameos, laying the foundation for the YRF Spy Universe. Later that year, Tiger 3 continued to expand the narrative.
