He is a friend of Pathaan and Kabir, the other fictional Indian spies in the YRF Spy Universe, portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, respectively.[9][10]

Comics
This section is an excerpt from YRF Spy Universe § Graphic novels.[edit]
  • A graphic novel titled Ek Tha Tiger: Mahasagar Ki Suraksha (English: Ek Tha Tiger: Saving The High Seas) was published in 2012 by Yomics. Post-release, the comic failed to generate positive word-of-mouth. Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama commended the comics' design but said that the main story failed to meet his expectations of a deeper plot, exciting narrative, and a tighter script.[11]
  • Another graphic novel named Ek Tha Tiger: Caught In The Web has been published in 2012 by Yomics, which also features some Hum Tum characters.[12]
