Pathaan 2 is trending all over on X. Fans of Shah Rukh Khan are buzzing with excitement after a top scribe put up a post that Ali Abbas Zafar is back with Yash Raj Films. He is in talks to direct a big budget action movie. Many believe Pathaan 2 shoot will start in December 2024. There are many reasons to be excited about this. Fans want to know if Deepika Padukone will make a comeback in any capacity as Rubaai in the movie. There are rumours of Shruti Haasan joining the Pathaan family. Lastly, will there be a cameo of Salman Khan in the movie?

Ali Abbas Zafar’s last film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff tanked badly at the box office. There are many Shah Rukh Khan fans who want Pathaan 2 to be only made with Siddharth Anand as the director. After a hiatus of five long years, Shah Rukh Khan made a grand comeback with Pathaan in January 2023. The film got an opening of Rs 55 crore plus and crossed the Rs 1,000 crore mark. The whole controversy around Besharam Rang also kept the movie in the news before its release.

Pathaan 2 is one of the prime properties of Yash Raj Films. The spy thriller has ended with the end of Jim (John Abraham) but fans are keen to see how it will align with other stories like Tiger Zinda Hai and WAR. The makers also have Tiger Vs Pathaan planned for the future. Shah Rukh Khan might do one more movie with Siddharth Anand. The filmmaker will be overseeing the action sequences of King that also stars Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. Tiger 3 was made by Maneesh Sharma and fans of Salman Khan were sorely disappointed by the same.
