Recent reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan might collaborate with Jr NTR in Pathaan 2, adding to the excitement surrounding the Yash Raj Films (YRF) Spy Universe. The potential collaboration has sparked considerable buzz, with insiders suggesting that Jr NTR could play a significant role, possibly as a parallel lead or a formidable antagonist opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

News of Pathaan 2's development initially surfaced during a real estate event in Dubai, where a tower was being launched in Shah Rukh Khan's name. A developer casually mentioned the sequel, sending fans into a frenzy.

The timing of this announcement coincided with the success of Ranveer Singh's action thriller Dhurandhar, further fueling speculation and excitement among fans. Social media has been abuzz with predictions that Pathaan 2 will commence shooting in late 2025, potentially after Alia Bhatt and Sharwari Wagh's Alpha.

Adding to the anticipation, there are reports that Shah Rukh Khan, as Pathaan, may make a cameo appearance in War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. This cameo could potentially expand the Tiger-Pathaan-Kabir universe, similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sources indicate that YRF is planning to shoot the cameo in early 2025, featuring a solo shot of SRK, akin to Hrithik Roshan's appearance in Tiger 3.

War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is slated for release during the Independence Day weekend in 2025 and is expected to be a major Bollywood action film. Jr NTR's Bollywood debut in War 2 is reportedly designed to be impactful, with an action sequence featuring him taking on a gang of 40 antagonists.

Kriti Sanon mentioned a potential collaboration with Dhanush. Additionally, the makers of Yamla Pagla Deewana are considering re-releasing the film as a tribute to Dharmendra. Ajay Devgn has also expressed enthusiasm for joining Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis's football event, Project Maha Deva.
