The cameo appearance of Salman Khan in Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan intrigued the audience's interest in the YRF Spy Universe.

Why does this story matter?
Yash Raj Films's Spy Universe comprises the cross-collaboration of three of its spy action brands - the Tiger franchise, Pathaan, and War, in which the male leads have essayed roles of R&AW agents. The film universe was announced before the release of Pathaan. Though Salman had a cameo appearance in Pathaan, the film also briefly mentioned Roshan's character Kabir from War.
Major cross-over
The first film to feature all three leading stars
Although Salman and Shah Rukh have previously shared screen space in films such as Karan Arjun and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, this will be the first time that Roshan will be seen with the two leading men. Quoting a source, an India Today report said, "Ayan's directorial will be the first film in the YRF spy universe to bring the three megastars together."
A stellar cast
These actors will be seen in 'War 2' as well
If you thought War 2 would only feature Shah Rukh and Salman along with Roshan, then expect a lot more. If media reports are anything to go by, the Mukerji-helmed film will have some of the biggest stars playing important roles. Katrina Kaif as Zoya and Deepika Padukone as Rubai are also expected to join in, apart from Jr. NTR and Kiara Advani.
