The makers of Pathaan, the biggest hit of 2023, are getting ready for its follow-up. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are reportedly getting back together for Pathaan 2, which would “lay the foundation” for SRK’s next Tiger vs. Pathaan, starring Salman Khan.
A source told Pinkvilla that Yash Raj Films’ Aditya Chopra has already locked the film’s script, and the story will take place before the timeline of Tiger vs Pathaan.
“Pathaan 2 will predate Tiger vs Pathaan and will set up the clash of two cinematic legends on the big screen. Shah Rukh Khan as Pathaan is definitely a character that has resonated with the audiences, and there is a constant on-ground demand from the audience to see more of SRK in the spy avatar.”
“Soon after the release in January 2023, Adi and SRK had decided to spin Pathaan into a standalone franchise too within the Spy Universe and the former started ideating the sequel of this all-time blockbuster,” the source told the entertainment portal.
Pathaan also marked the return of Hindi Cinema in a big way in the post-pandemic world and it’s now time for YRF to amp up the stakes further by scaling new heights with Pathaan 2.
