Aditya Chopra against the idea of merging Dhoom universe with Spy Universe?

Amid the thunderous success of Pathaan, reports surfaced online claiming that Yash Raj Films' head honcho Aditya Chopra is considering merging the Dhoom universe and Spy universe.

Refuting such rumours, a source close to the production banner said, "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 these IPs, will never merge the two because he would want to grow them separately. "


"YRF Spy Universe is a world of super spies and Dhoom is the world of anti-establishment anti-heroes. They can't come together. He will protect the sanctity of these two universes and grow them separately to make them even bigger IPs in the years to come," the source informed.

The source said that there is no truth to the reports.

"So, no you won't see any characters from these Universes to overlap in either franchise. 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," the source added.

Dhoom was released in 2004, Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra, Esha Deol, and Rimi Sen played important parts in the film which was later expanded into a franchise with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra's characters remaining constant.

Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan played the roles of an antagonist in Dhoom 2 (2008) and Dhoom 3 (2013) respectively.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
