WAR 2 Effect: After NTR, Next Shah Rukh Khan?

Shah Rukh Khan Pathaan 2

Pathaan 2 just got more interesting! Pathaan has smashed records and cemented YRF’s Spy Universe. Now, the sequel is going to take it to the next level.

But here’s the twist Siddharth Anand is not returning. So, who will call the shots this time? Will it be Aditya Chopra himself or Ayan Mukerji after War 2?

Aditya Chopra has been working on Pathaan 2 since mid-2023. It’s not just a sequel but a game-changer for the Spy Universe.

Along with Sridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala, he has designed a high-stakes thriller that expands the story and sets up massive conflicts for future films.

Shah Rukh Khan has apparently given it a big thumbs up so the expectations are sky high.

With the script locked, the biggest question remains who will direct? Buzz says Aditya Chopra might take the director’s chair himself to have total control over his vision.

But has he directed a film since Befikre (2016)? Is he ready for such a big action spectacle?

Then there’s Ayan Mukerji. His work on War 2 has impressed insiders, making him a strong contender.

But can he handle the scale and intensity of Pathaan 2? Or will YRF surprise us with a new director?

Pathaan has made ₹1050 crore worldwide. Since then, Tiger 3 has added more weight to the Spy Universe and War 2 will add even more.

If Pathaan 2 delivers on action and story, crossing ₹1500 crore is not just possible but expected.

Shooting starts later this year and the film will go on floors in early 2026. Whoever directs it, one thing is clear YRF is betting big on Pathaan 2.

With Shah Rukh Khan back as the spy, this might be the most explosive chapter in the Spy Universe yet. Is Bollywood’s biggest blockbusters coming?
