There have been recent reports that Aditya Chopra will host a joint narration session for the two superstars, but now there has been a confirmation that the film has already been narrated to the two Khans in two separate meetings more than a month back

A trade source shared, "Tiger vs Pathaan’s script is locked after the two mega-stars of Hindi cinema gave their nod to the script. This film is a huge milestone moment because it sees the two giants of Indian cinema to come together for a full-fledged film after their box office juggernaut Karan Arjun."

"They had to first love the script and get convinced that it has the goods to satisfy the expectations of people about their big on-screen reunion. Aditya Chopra held individual meetings with SRK and Salman respectively and narrated the film to them. The superstars have loved the story and the film will now go on floors in March", the soure added.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, Tiger vs Pathaan is touted to be the biggest film that India has ever produced.
