Shah Rukh Khan is officially returning as India’s favourite super-spy, with Pathaan 2 finally confirmed after months of speculation. The announcement came in the most unexpected fashion—during the actor’s recent visit to Dubai, where a real estate developer revealed the sequel at a public event, sending fans into a global meltdown.
The reveal occurred at the launch of a luxury tower named after Shah Rukh Khan. While addressing the crowd, the developer casually dropped a bombshell: “Koi blockbuster movie hoti hai toh uska ek sequel hota hai, am I right? Like ‘Pathaan’. ‘Pathaan 2’ aa rahi hai.” Within minutes, videos of the moment lit up social media, with fan pages celebrating the long-awaited confirmation.
The timing of the news only amplified the frenzy, arriving shortly after Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar smashed its way to a Rs 200 crore opening. One fan wrote, “ALL TIME GROSSER from the Spy Universe gets a SEQUEL. #Pathaan2 likely to start next year after Alia Bhatt’s Alpha.” Another comment read, “After the tsunami created by Dhurandhar, expectations from every spy film are SKY HIGH — Pathaan 2 is walking into MASSIVE hype already!”
Many viewers also speculated that Alpha might feature a post-credit cameo by SRK to set up the sequel. The interconnected storylines continue to fuel excitement for YRF’s rapidly expanding Spy Universe.
During the same Dubai event, SRK took a moment to reflect emotionally on his recent milestones. “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,” he said, adding that it was a life-changing moment.

Industry reports indicate that Pathaan 2 is scheduled to go on floors next year and will be extensively shot in Chile. According to Mid-Day, the idea gained traction during Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font’s recent visit to India. Filmmaker Anshuman Jha revealed that “concrete conversations” are underway for both Pathaan 2 and Lakadbaggha 3 to shoot in the country.
As for the Spy Universe timeline, multiple reports suggest that Pathaan 2 will release before the highly anticipated crossover Tiger vs Pathaan. As noted by Pinkvilla and PeepingMoon, the sequel will not only advance Pathaan’s story but also lay crucial groundwork for the massive face-off between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s legendary spy characters.
With global locations, high-octane action, and a universe-shaping storyline, Pathaan 2 is already shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the decade.
