Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s blockbuster ‘Pathaan’ took the box office by storm upon its release in January 2023. Reports surfaced last year about their return for the sequel, though it was confirmed that Siddharth Anand would not be directing it.
Now, the latest updates suggest that Aditya Chopra has finalized the script for ‘Pathaan 2,’ with production set to begin in the first quarter of 2026.
According to reports, the writing phase has officially concluded, and Aditya Chopra is ready to move forward with the project. A source revealed, “Aditya has been working on the script for ‘Pathaan 2’ since mid-2023. The sequel is designed not only to carry forward Pathaan’s story but also to lay the groundwork for larger conflicts in upcoming installments of YRF’s Spy Universe. It was due to the extensive planning and intricate storytelling that the scripting process took so long. Aditya, along with Sridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala, has crafted an exhilarating, high-stakes script that promises to surpass the first installment in both scale and intensity. Aditya consulted SRK on the script, and he was thoroughly impressed and enthusiastic about the direction of the sequel.”
With an ambitious vision and an intense storyline, ‘Pathaan 2’ aims to elevate the Spy Universe to even greater heights, setting the stage for thrilling action and larger-than-life conflicts in the upcoming chapters.
