The king of Bollywood’s spy universe is back, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever! Pathaan 2 is officially in the works, with Shah Rukh Khan reprising his role as the unstoppable RAW agent.
With rumors of Deepika Padukone returning as Rubina and potential crossovers with Salman Khan’s Tiger and Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, the YRF Spy Universe is set for an electrifying expansion. Packed with high-octane action, intense espionage, and jaw-dropping twists, this sequel is shaping up to be an unmissable cinematic spectacle.
Pathaan’s Next Mission Takes Shape

The script for the highly anticipated sequel is nearly complete, as confirmed by screenwriter Abbas Tyrewala. Aditya Chopra, the mastermind behind Yash Raj Films, has been meticulously developing Pathaan 2 since mid-2023, aiming to surpass the original’s success.
While Shah Rukh Khan leads the charge once again, the directorial reins may shift—Siddharth Anand, who helmed Pathaan, won’t be returning. Instead, Aditya Chopra himself or War 2 director Ayan Mukerji might take the helm.
A Pivotal Chapter in the YRF Spy Universe
More than just a sequel, Pathaan 2 is a crucial link in YRF’s expanding Spy Universe, which already boasts blockbusters like the Tiger series and War. This new chapter is expected to delve deeper into Pathaan’s story while setting the stage for future crossovers, including a long-rumored face-off between Salman Khan’s Tiger and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.
Production Timeline and What’s Next
Filming is set to begin in early 2026 after Shah Rukh Khan wraps up King, his upcoming project with Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. Following Pathaan 2, fans can look forward to War 2 and Alpha, further expanding the YRF Spy Universe.
With the script almost locked and pre-production about to kick off, excitement is at an all-time high. Pathaan 2 is set to deliver a thrilling blend of action, espionage, and cinematic grandeur, promising an unforgettable experience for fans worldwide.
