Pathaan 2 Announcement: Shah Rukh Khan to Begin Shoot After King, Ayan Mukerji Likely to Direct

The much-awaited sequel to Pathaan is officially gaining momentum, and fans of Shah Rukh Khan have every reason to celebrate. Following the blockbuster success of Pathaan in 2023, which redefined the action-spy genre in Bollywood, the anticipation for its sequel has been growing steadily. Now, exciting updates confirm that SRK will begin work on Pathaan 2 soon after finishing his current project, King, which stars his daughter Suhana Khan in her feature film debut.

Script Locked, Shah Rukh Khan Impressed

According to industry sources, the script for Pathaan 2 has been in the works since mid-2023. Producer Aditya Chopra, along with writers Sridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala, has reportedly crafted a gripping storyline that aims to surpass the original in both storytelling depth and action scale. The new installment is expected to not just continue Pathaan’s thrilling journey but also serve as a foundation for larger crossovers in YRF’s ambitious Spy Universe.

Sources reveal that Shah Rukh Khan was “deeply impressed” with the final script and is eager to dive into the high-octane world of espionage once again. The narrative is said to be filled with adrenaline-pumping sequences, emotional arcs, and an intricate web of spy conflicts that will connect seamlessly with upcoming YRF spy films.

Director Yet to Be Finalised, Ayan Mukerji in Talks

While the story is ready and SRK is locked in, the directorial chair remains open. There’s strong speculation that Ayan Mukerji—who is currently directing War 2—might be roped in to helm Pathaan 2. His work on the upcoming spy thriller has reportedly impressed Aditya Chopra, making him a top contender. However, insiders suggest Chopra is also contemplating taking on the director’s role himself, marking a return to filmmaking after years behind the scenes.

A Major Chapter in YRF’s Expanding Spy Universe

Pathaan 2 is not just a sequel—it’s a pivotal piece of the larger spy saga being crafted by Yash Raj Films. The franchise, which also includes Tiger and War, is poised to interlink various agents and their storylines in a Marvel-style cinematic universe. With Pathaan 2, audiences can expect more interconnections, powerful cameos, and possibly the lead-up to an ensemble spy blockbuster.

Massive Expectations After Record-Breaking Prequel

The original Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, was a box office phenomenon. It became the fourth highest-grossing Hindi film ever and cemented Shah Rukh Khan’s return to action roles. With over ₹543 crore collected domestically, it stands as one of YRF’s most successful projects and continues to enjoy cult status among fans.

When Will Shooting Begin?

Preparations for Pathaan 2 are likely to begin by the end of 2025, right after King wraps up production. The film is expected to go on floors in early 2026, and given the buzz surrounding its development, official announcements regarding the director and additional cast could drop soon.

With an action-packed storyline, cross-franchise linkages, and Shah Rukh Khan returning as the iconic Pathaan, the sequel promises to be bigger, bolder, and even more thrilling. Whether helmed by Ayan Mukerji or Aditya Chopra himself, Pathaan 2 is undoubtedly shaping up to be the next milestone in Bollywood’s cinematic universe.
