Pathaan 2 has a locked script, and Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra are returning as the film’s major actors and producers. According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan will return to Pathaan sooner than anticipated. Production on Pathaan 2, which stars Aditya Chopra, will start as early as the end of this year, according to a Pinkvilla report. Yash Raj Studios has zeroed in on a script for the movie.
After Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, War 2, and Tiger Vs. Pathaan, Pathaan 2 will be the eighth movie in the YRF spy universe. “Here’s the twist to the YRF Spy Universe timeline: Pathaan 2 will take place before Tiger vs. Pathaan and will set up the big-screen confrontation between two cinematic legends,” a source told Pinkvilla.
There is no denying that Shah Rukh Khan’s portrayal of Pathaan has struck a chord with viewers; in fact, there is a persistent demand from them to see more of SRK in the espionage role. Adi and SRK made the quick decision to spin off Pathaan into its own distinct Spy Universe franchise shortly after the film’s January 2023 premiere.
Following the Covid pandemic, which nearly brought an end to the Hindi film industry, Pathaan was a box office hit and the first movie in the country to reach the coveted ₹1000 crore milestone. John Abraham and Deepika Padukone both starred in the movie. Deepika plays ISI agent Rubina, John Abraham plays a soldier turned terrorist, and Shah Rukh Khan is an R&AW agent who establishes a new JOCR division of agents to combat terrorism. In the film, Dimple Kapadia also played a unique part.
“Pathaan 2 is envisioned as the flagship spy movie of the cosmos, laying the groundwork for more significant conflicts down the road. It will establish the next chapter in the timeline of YRF Spy Universe. The insider continued, “In actuality, P2 sets up the major conflict between Tiger and Pathaan (Tiger vs. Pathaan) in the future timeline.
Although Shah Rukh has not yet revealed the title of his upcoming movie, it is said that he and his daughter Suhana Khan are working on King. Next up is Deepika in Kalki 2898 AD.
