Hrithik Roshan’s latest venture, “Fighter,” directed by Siddharth Anand, has not only dazzled audiences but sparked a unique demand from fans. Following the film’s success, fans are now pushing for a face-off between Shah Rukh Khan’s character Pathaan and Hrithik Roshan’s War character Kabir in the Spy Universe, proposing the title “Pathaan Vs Kabir.”
While many on social media applauded this idea, some remained uncertain about the proposed matchup. Fans are urging director Siddharth Anand to shift focus from the initially planned “Tiger Vs Pathaan” film, suggesting that Salman Khan’s character, Tiger, no longer fits into the Spy Universe narrative.
The enthusiasm for “Tiger Vs Pathaan” has dwindled, with fans attributing the shift to Salman Khan’s perceived decline as Tiger and Hrithik Roshan’s ascension as an action star, fueled by the success of “Fighter” and the highly anticipated “War 2.”
Currently, Hrithik Roshan is engrossed in the making of “War 2,” directed by Ayan Mukerji, where he will be seen alongside Jr NTR as the antagonist. Fans now clamor for Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan to lock horns with Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, sidelining Tiger from the Spy Universe.
A user on social media remarked, “We don’t want Tiger vs Pathaan; Salman Khan sucks at acting. Make #PathaanVsKabir #wedontwantTigervspathaan.” Another comment highlighted, “Tiger vs Pathan won’t happen. No worry, brother… Sid doesn’t work with lazy fat actors.”
Fighter bring new concept
The online community suggested that it’s time for new adversaries and fresh concepts in Spy Universe films. Fans expressed a desire for Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan to collaborate onscreen, emphasizing that it’s high time for these two powerhouse actors to create magic together.
