The shared universe, initially starting out as a [[Tiger (franchise)|single movie series]], later was established by [[Fictional crossover|crossing over]] common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.<ref>{{cite web|title=Salman Khan confirms YRF's spy universe with Shah Rukh Khan's Pathan and Tiger 3|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/amp/news/bollywood/salman-khan-confirms-yrfs-spy-universe-with-shah-rukh-khans-pathan-and-tiger-3/|date=27 December 2021|work=[[Bollywood Hungama]]}}</ref>

The first film ''[[Ek Tha Tiger]]'' (2012) and its sequel ''[[Tiger Zinda Hai]]'' (2017) centres on a fictional [[R&AW]] agent played by [[Salman Khan]]. ''[[War (2019 film)|War]]'' (2019) tells the story of a R&AW agent played by [[Hrithik Roshan]] who goes rogue. Before making War, producer [[Aditya Chopra]] and director [[Siddharth Anand]] came up with the idea of merging these films and creating a [[shared universe]] by crossing over these characters who all belongs to R&AW. However, War was still made as an independent film without having any links with the films of Tiger franchise with an idea of creating proper foundation for the characters to have proper crossovers.

''[[War (2019 film)|War]]'' (2019) tells the story of a RAW agent played by [[Hrithik Roshan]] who goes rogue. Before making ''War'', producer [[Aditya Chopra]] and director [[Siddharth Anand]] came up with the idea of merging these films and creating a [[shared universe]] by crossing over the characters who all belong to the RAW. However, ''War'' was still made as a standalone film without directly connecting to the first two ''Tiger'' films—supporting the idea of creating a proper foundation for the ''War'' characters before a proper crossover.


''Pathaan'' (2023) starring [[Shah Rukh Khan]] as the titular character and a R&AW agent, directed by Anand will be the first film to have characters appearing from both Tiger franchise and War. It will be marked as the 4th film in the SPY Universe and the first YRF film to have a crossover.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ashutosh Rana to reprise War role in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathan|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/amp/news/bollywood/ashutosh-rana-reprise-war-role-shah-rukh-khan-starrer-pathan/|date=4 August 2021|work=[[Bollywood Hungama]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Salman Khan to join Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham at the top of Burj Khalifa for Pathan|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/bollywood/scoop-salman-khan-join-shah-rukh-khan-deepika-padukone-john-abraham-top-burj-khalifa-pathan|date=17 February 2021|access-date=17 February 2021 |work=Bollywood Hungama}}</ref>
