Rumours about Shah Rukh Khan reuniting with filmmaker Farah Khan for a sequel to the 2004 blockbuster Main Hoon Na have been doing the rounds for months, sending fans of the cult classic into a frenzy. Several reports recently claimed that Main Hoon Na 2 would be Shah Rukh Khan’s next big project after his upcoming film King. However, Farah Khan has now finally addressed the speculation—and firmly shut it down.
According to earlier reports, the much-hyped sequel was said to feature Shah Rukh Khan in a double role, portraying two starkly different characters. It was also rumoured that the core concept for the sequel had come directly from SRK himself, with writer Aakash Kaushik reportedly working on the screenplay. Adding fuel to the excitement were claims that Main Hoon Na 2 would rely heavily on nostalgia, bringing back key characters from the original film while introducing new faces to appeal to a younger audience. Given the film’s iconic songs, humour and emotional beats, fans were quick to believe the buzz.
Putting an end to all speculation, Farah Khan recently reacted to the rumours and urged fans not to trust unverified reports. “Don’t believe in all these rumours,” she stated, clearly dismissing the idea that Main Hoon Na 2 is currently in development. With this brief but firm response, Farah made it clear that there are no plans—at least for now—to revisit the beloved film.
Interestingly, Farah also revisited a lesser-known chapter from the making of Main Hoon Na. Despite becoming a massive box-office success, the film nearly fell apart just two weeks before shooting began. Actress Ayesha Takia, who had initially been cast as Sanjana, exited the project unexpectedly after signing another film, Socha Na Tha.
With Shah Rukh Khan, Zayed Khan and Sushmita Sen already locked, locations finalised and costumes prepared, the sudden setback left Farah panicked—especially since it was her directorial debut. The crisis was resolved when Gauri Khan suggested Amrita Rao after seeing her in a coffee commercial. Though initially unsure, Farah was convinced after watching Amrita perform an emotional scene opposite SRK, and the casting decision was made instantly.
The rest, as they say, is history. Main Hoon Na went on to become a blockbuster, and Amrita Rao’s portrayal of Sanjana remains unforgettable. For now, however, fans hoping for Main Hoon Na 2 will have to wait, as the sequel remains nothing more than a rumour.
