Shah Rukh Khan And Salman Khan's Tiger Vs Pathaan Not Shelved
New Delhi:
Reports of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's upcoming film, Tiger vs Pathaan, being shelved have been doing the rounds on the Internet.
This claim comes after Salman confirmed earlier this year that the project is "not happening" at the moment. The movie is a part of the YRF spy universe.
Now, NDTV has exclusively learnt that the reports are "false." Industry insiders confirmed that the film is "not shelved."
The media portal PeepingMoon, which broke the story of the film being shelved, has also taken it down.
YRF's spy universe kicked off with Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger (2012), featuring Katrina Kaif. Salman Khan played the character of a RAW agent, Avinash Singh Rathore, code-named Tiger, in the film. He later reprised his role in Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Tiger 3 (2023).
Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, joined the spy world with the blockbuster Pathaan (2023). The movie, directed by Siddharth Anand, also had a special cameo by Salman Khan.
Another movie that is a part of this spy genre is Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's War (2019). The line-up also includes War 2 and Alpha. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh will share screen space in Alpha.
Ahead of Tiger vs Pathaa n, Shah Rukh and Salman Khan have worked in films like Karan Arjun (1995), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) and Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002).
Salman Khan was last seen in the AR Murugadoss directorial Sikandar. The action adventure, also starring Pooja Hegde released this year on Eid. The film, however, did not match expectations.
Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, appeared in the 2023 drama Dunki. He will next be seen in Sujoy Ghosh's King.

Toying around: Indians on the recent Labubu toy trend
If you've been doomscrolling through social media lately, chances are you've encountered the cute, yet eerie face of Labubu — the plush toy that the Internet is currently hooked on. Hanging from Ananya Panday's designer bag, featured on popular K-pop star Lisa's live streams, or unboxing videos of influencers trying to get a hold of the rare one they want, it is everywhere. 'Labubu has been popular in the Far East but has now become a global phenomenon. The past two months have seen a huge surge in their demand in India,' says Zohara Jamal, a popular lifestyle content creator. Subhashree Panneerselvam, a Chennai resident who recently visited Vietnam, corroborates. 'When I visited, I noticed Labubu toys being sold, especially at a store located inside a theme park. But I didn't know of the trend until I saw a reel on Instagram upon coming back. I regretted not having purchased one,' she shares. Fondly called 'ugly-cute' by fans, Labubu is a collectible character designed by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung in 2015. Inspired by Nordic mythology, the character was initially featured in Lung's picture book series The Monsters, where Labubu is depicted as a mischievous, elf-like creature, with a toothy grin and a playful demeanour. Later, it gained widespread popularity through a collaboration with Chinese toy company Pop Mart, which introduced the character as part of its blind box collectible series — a popular release in which each toy is sold in a sealed package. Nikhil Jain, who resells these collectibles online under the banner Hype and collectibles, adds, 'Tier 1 cities in India — Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad — are blowing up now and ordering the toy. From Chennai, in fact, I get orders every day.' In the last six months, Hype and collectibles alone has sold around thousand Labubu toys and Nikhil estimates that at least one lakh Labubu toys could have been sold across online platforms, in India. Ayesha Alikhan, a psychologist, who has noticed people jumping on the bandwagon, says, 'I've been seeing many influencers carrying these dolls. I've also seen many kids as well as middle-aged women at UB City walking around with the dolls in their bags.' However, when the trend is assessed by the prices these toys fetch, India appears to be trailing behind the global craze. Dakshin Adyantha, co-founder (brand communications) of Ethinos, who has collected four Labubu toys so far from Mumbai, notes, 'The toys are priced as low as `3,000, which is still accessible to many. It is only when the demand surges will the prices go up further. That is how it works with collectables.'
