“Pathaan 2” Confirmed: Shah Rukh Khan’s Spy Universe Expands with Explosive Sequel
Hold onto your hats, action movie fans! The rumors are true: “Pathaan 2” is officially in the works. After the phenomenal success of “Pathaan” in 2023, which saw Shah Rukh Khan’s triumphant return to the big screen, Yash Raj Films (YRF) is gearing up for another adrenaline-pumping adventure.
Aditya Chopra, the head honcho of YRF, has locked the script for the highly anticipated sequel, and production is set to commence in early 2026. While Siddharth Anand, the director of the first film, won’t be returning, the sequel promises to be even bigger and more explosive than its predecessor.
A Script Crafted for Spy Universe Expansion
Chopra, along with writers Sridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala, has reportedly crafted a script that not only continues Pathaan’s story but also sets the stage for larger conflicts within YRF’s Spy Universe. This interconnected universe, featuring characters from other YRF spy films like “Tiger” and “War,” is poised to become a major franchise for the studio.
A source close to the production revealed, “The script for ‘Pathaan 2’ is incredibly intricate and ambitious. It took time to perfect, but the result is an exhilarating story that will take the action and intensity to the next level.”
The Hunt for a New Director
With Siddharth Anand stepping away from the director’s chair, YRF is on the lookout for a fresh perspective to helm “Pathaan 2.” Aditya Chopra is reportedly seeking a director who can bring a unique vision to Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic spy character and further expand the Spy Universe.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Packed Schedule
Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently busy with “King,” directed by Siddharth Anand and starring his daughter Suhana Khan, is expected to begin filming “Pathaan 2” after completing his commitments to “King.” “King” is slated for a 2026 release, so fans might have to wait a little longer for “Pathaan 2” to hit the screens.
The confirmation of “Pathaan 2” has sent waves of excitement through the industry and among fans. With its explosive script, expanded universe connections, and the return of Shah Rukh Khan as the charismatic spy, “Pathaan 2” is poised to be another blockbuster hit for YRF.
