It is an integral part of YRF’s spy franchise, where characters from different films intersect at some point. The story revolves around the eponymous spy (played by Shah Rukh), who emerges from exile to thwart the plans of the terrorist group Outfit X, aiming to launch a devastating attack on India. This film marks the fourth installment in producer Aditya Chopra’s spy universe, following the successes of “Ek Tha Tiger” and “Tiger Zinda Hai” starring Salman Khan, as well as “War” featuring Hrithik Roshan.
