Aditya Chopra's Dhoom franchise won't be merged with Spy Universe

Aditya Chopra's Dhoom franchise will not be merged with his spy universe, which includes films such as the Tiger franchise, War (2019) and Pathaan.

A source told IANS, "Dhoom franchise and YRF Spy Universe are now two of the biggest IPs in the history of Indian cinema and Aditya Chopra, who owns both of them, will never merge the two because he wants to grow them separately. YRF Spy Universe is a world of super spies and Dhoom is the world of anti-establishment anti-heroes."

The source added: "They can't come together. He will protect the sanctity of these two universes and grow them separately to make them even bigger IP's in the years to come," informs a very senior trade source.

"So, no you won't see any characters from these Universes to overlap in either franchises. Story wise also it doesn't make sense at all. So, all this talk is completely baseless that Jai Dixit will be seen in the YRF Spy Universe. No one from Dhoom will be seen in the YRF Spy Universe and vice versa."

Yash Raj Films’ last release was Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in the lead. The film directed by Siddharth Anand has broken several box office records and has also entered the Rs.1000 crore club.
