The sequel to Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, titled Pathaan 2, has officially been confirmed. Aditya Chopra has finalized the script, and details regarding the film's schedule and storyline have emerged. Here is a comprehensive overview of this anticipated blockbuster.

Pathaan 2 script finalized

According to a source, Pathaan 2 has been in development since mid-2023, with Aditya Chopra diligently working on the script. With the script now locked, there is increased clarity regarding the sequel.

Aditya Chopra could direct Pathaan 2

Shah Rukh Khan has reviewed the Pathaan 2 script and has expressed his approval, prompting the production team to seek a new director. While the original film was directed by Siddharth Anand, similar to the War and Tiger franchises, a new installment typically involves a different director. Currently, Aditya Chopra is on the lookout for a fresh talent to take the helm. He may choose to direct the film himself or consider Ayan Mukerji, who has previously collaborated on Hrithik Roshan's War 2. If neither option materializes, the team will pursue a new director.

Pathaan 2 story

Pathaan 2 will continue the narrative established in the first film and will lay the foundation for more extensive conflicts within the YRF Spy Universe. Viewers should anticipate that themes of betrayal may play a significant role in the sequel.

When will Pathaan 2 go on floors?

Filming for Pathaan 2 is projected to commence in the first half of 2026. Shah Rukh Khan is expected to complete his commitments to Siddharth Anand's King before transitioning to Pathaan. The film will feature SRK in the role of a don, alongside his daughter Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in key roles. It is likely that SRK will begin work on Pathaan 2 following the theatrical release of King in 2026.
