The YRF Spy Universe kicked off with Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger (2012) then followed by Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), and War (2019), starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. It was taken forward with Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham after which Tiger 3 with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif.

The Romantics, a docu-series on YRF and its impact on Popular culture for 50 years, also became a worldwide success story.
Akshaye says, “The Railway Men trended in over 36 countries, but you’re feeling the success of content when you recognize individuals who don’t speak your language, are watching the content and appreciating it. For me, that could be a huge definition of success. We’re an organization that shouldn’t be afraid to fail. We would like to give you the chance to do disruptive content.
He adds, “India loves the films. It’s an enormous a part of our culture, it’s an enormous a part of our team. And I feel The Romantics was a journey that each viewer went on. So everybody has a YRF story of their life. My parents had a YRF story from Yash Ji’s times. I had a YRF story from Adi’s times. So like me, there are other individuals who all have a YRF story. There’s a song that played at your wedding, which was from a YRF movie. There was a time in life once you went watch a movie and that was a YRF movie and also you went with that certain someone which you is likely to be with or won’t be with, but you continue to have fond memories of.”
Akshaye further says, “I feel, due to that connect, and connect with this company, and the studio has had it, it is a cultural connect with audiences. And I feel that is what excited people and drew people to look at the Romantics that may make them like it more. The sheer nostalgia here, as to the youth connected to them, because again, there was a story about their family, or a movie that they’ve watched and loved. To not forget, it also had Aditya Chopra making his debut on screen and that gave us incredible amount of eyeballs!”
