Now coming together in a project for which there are no immediate details. But whose announcement has got fans of both stars rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation.
Filmmaker Siddharth Anand is making it happen for Yash Raj Films. The studio tweeted the news on the occasion of legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra’s 85th birth anniversary today. "Bring it on!

Hrithik and Tiger also took to their respective accounts on the micro-blogging site to announce the project. "Sir Hrithik Roshan, you are my guru. But you should know when the game changes," Tiger tweeted. To that, Hrithik replied: "A guru will always have that one trick, he doesn't teach his student. Tiger Shroff."

The project is believed to be an action thriller that will showcase both stars’ amazing dancing skills. Tiger and Anand are currently working on the Indian remake of Sylvester Stallone’s Hollywood film franchise Rambo. Will Hrithik join them in this or will the three get together on a new project that promises a big face-off between the two actors? Bollywood trade sources are yet to figure out.
Hrithik is returning to YRF after 11 years since Dhoom 2 while this will be Tiger’s first film with the banner. Hrithik’s second message on the pairing was to his fans on Twitter: “The BIGGEST Action event ever. Exploding on 25th Jan'19. #HrithikvsTiger! Be Ready” It’s a long wait for fans of both stars but nobody’s complaining.
