    Digital Desk: Shah Rukh Khan's thriving return to the silver screen with "Pathaan" in 2023 was met with widespread acclaim and box office success. The film, which marked Khan's comeback after 2018's "Zero," grabbed audiences' hearts and garnered over Rs 1000 crores worldwide. However, the excitement doesn't end there. Recent reports suggest that Yash Raj Films (YRF) is gearing up for "Pathaan 2," signaling another thrilling chapter in the YRF spy universe.

    According to a report by Peeping Moon, Shah Rukh Khan is poised to commence shooting for "Pathaan 2" by the end of the year. Unlike its predecessor, this sequel will see a change in director, with Siddharth Anand stepping aside to make way for a fresh perspective on Khan's swashbuckling spy character. Aditya Chopra, the visionary behind the YRF spy universe, is known for his strategic selection of directors, ensuring each installment offers a unique cinematic experience.

    While the director for "Pathaan 2" remains undisclosed, plans are already underway to kickstart production by year's end. However, Siddharth Anand's out from "Pathaan 2" does not mark the end of his collaboration with YRF. The director is set to helm "Tiger Vs Pathaan," promising yet another high-octane venture under the YRF banner.

    "Pathaan 2" will join the ranks of YRF's esteemed spy universe, which includes blockbusters like "Ek Tha Tiger," "Tiger Zinda Hai," "War," and its predecessor, "Pathaan." With Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" and Hrithik Roshan's "War 2" already in the pipeline, the YRF spy universe continues to expand its horizons. Additionally, an untitled Spy Universe movie featuring Alia Bhatt further adds to the intrigue surrounding YRF's ambitious cinematic universe.

    As fans eagerly await the release of "Pathaan 2," the possibility of delving deeper into Shah Rukh Khan's enigmatic spy world is nothing short of exhilarating. With each installment promising a fresh take on espionage and intrigue, the YRF spy universe shows no signs of slowing down, cementing its status as a powerhouse in Indian cinema.
