One of Bollywood’s biggest names, Shah Rukh Khan took a hiatus from films after Zero (2018) underperformed at the box office. For nearly four years, SRK remained absent from the big screen, carefully planning his return. In 2023, he roared back with Pathaan, an action thriller that became a box-office juggernaut. The film, directed by Siddharth Anand, not only reaffirmed his superstardom but also set new records, crossing ₹1000 crore worldwide.
Pathaan was a crucial addition to Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, which includes Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, and War. It introduced SRK as a charismatic and deadly spy. The film’s success solidified YRF’s vision of an interconnected franchise, making Pathaan 2 one of the most awaited sequels. Now, exciting reports suggest that Aditya Chopra has completed the script for Pathaan 2, promising a bigger, more intense spectacle.
Pathaan 2 is planned to be released by the end of 2026
SRK fans have reason to rejoice as Pathaan 2 is officially in the works. According to reports by Mid-Day, Aditya Chopra has wrapped up writing the sequel’s script. The report suggests that Shah Rukh Khan was thoroughly impressed with the new script and has given it a green light. However, filming will only commence after he finishes King, directed by Siddharth Anand, which also marks his daughter Suhana Khan’s theatrical debut.
