Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan 2 Officially Announced At Dubai Event | Watch
Shah Rukh Khan is officially set to return as the suave super-spy Pathaan, with the sequel now confirmed. The announcement came during the actor's recent visit to Dubai, where an unexpected reveal at a public event put an end to months of speculation around the future of the blockbuster franchise.
The confirmation emerged at a real estate launch in Dubai, where a tower bearing Shah Rukh Khan's name was unveiled. During the event, the developer on stage announced that Pathaan 2 is in development. A video from the launch, widely shared by fan accounts online, captured the moment when the developer said, “Koi blockbuster movie hoti hai toh uska ek sequel hota hai, am I right? Like ‘Pathaan'. ‘Pathaan 2' aa rahi hai. Toh koi movie aap dekho, toh uska sequel hoga."
The statement quickly sent fans into a frenzy, especially with the timing of the news coinciding with Ranveer Singh's action thriller Dhurandhar, which has opened to a massive Rs 200 crore at the box office. One fan shared the announcement clip and wrote, “ALL TIME GROSSER & the HIGHEST GROSSER from the Spy Universe to get a SEQUEL. #Pathaan2 likely to start next year after the release of Alia Bhatt's ‘Alpha'."
PATHAAN is BACK 🔥😳ALL TIME GROSSER & the HIGHEST GROSSER from the Spy Universe to gets SEQUEL – #Pathaan2 ❤️😎#ShahRukhKhan movie likely to start next year after #Alpha release 😱😎
After #Dhurandhar the expectations from Spy movies are SKY HIGH 🙏🏻pic.twitter.com/hbq26aDOgj

Several others connected the sequel announcement with upcoming projects in Yash Raj Films' expanding Spy Universe. One comment read, “And after the tsunami created by #Dhurandhar, expectations from every spy film are now SKY HIGH — Pathaan 2 is walking into MASSIVE hype already!" Another fan speculated, “Alpha mein post-credit scene SRK diya toh samajh lena ki Pathaan 2 confirm hai!"
During the same Dubai event, Shah Rukh Khan reflected on a series of recent personal and professional milestones. Speaking about being honoured internationally and in India, the actor said, “I have a bronze DDLJ statue in London, I've won a National Award, and now there's a building in Dubai named after me. I've become someone my parents can look down on proudly from heaven. It's a life-changing moment for me."
Meanwhile, industry reports suggest Pathaan 2 will go on floors next year and will be shot extensively in Chile. According to a Mid-Day report, discussions around filming in the country gained momentum during Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font's recent visit to India. Filmmaker-actor Anshuman Jha, who was part of the meeting, shared, “There are concrete conversations of Pathaan 2 by Yash Raj Films and Lakadbaggha 3 being shot in Chile next year. I hope we help His Excellency's vision of bringing the beauty of Chile to the world through our cinema."
In terms of the larger franchise plan, reports indicate that Pathaan 2 will release ahead of the high-profile crossover Tiger vs Pathaan. An earlier Pinkvilla report suggested that the sequel will play a crucial role in setting up the clash between Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Salman Khan's Tiger. Echoing this, a PeepingMoon report stated, “The sequel is designed not only to carry forward Pathaan's story, but also to lay the groundwork for larger conflicts in upcoming instalments of YRF's Spy Universe."
