Three decades ago, Aamir Khan apparently opted out of playing the anti-hero, Rahul Mehra, in Darr (1993), as filmmaker Yash Chopra didn’t agree to a joint narration with Sunny Deol, who played the hero, Sunil Malhotra. While Shah Rukh Khan eventually played Rahul, Sunny wasn’t too pleased to see that the anti-hero justify himself in the end of the film, after its release. It appears that Aditya Chopra doesn’t want to take any such chances with his next big spy actioner, Tiger vs Pathaan. Rumours are rife that he will be giving a joint narration to Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, who play Tiger and Pathaan, respectively, in Siddharth Anand’s directorial venture. Moreover, the narration will take place in Adi’s office at YRF Studios, so that everyone is on the same page as far as the narration is concerned. Apparently, in a bid to ensure that not a word from what transpires during the narration between Adi, SRK, Salman and Sid, gets out, no one will be allowed to access the floor. The spy thriller is slated to go on floors by February 2024.
