Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan made his iconic comeback in the industry with the film Pathaan and proved how he is still the king. After a massive success at the box office, a sequel to the film was announced which made fans excited. We know the casting of this one would be a banger too after seeing John Abraham and Deepika Padukone shine in the first one. According to several reports, Telugu star Allu Arjun might be playing the villian.
Allu Arjun To Play Villian In Pathaan?
While neither the producers nor the South superstar have responded to the rumours, netizens could not contain their enthusiasm at the prospect of such an ensemble cast. “I know it’s Allu Arjun is the villain in Pathaan 2, send me my prize @yrf @SRKUniverse @iamsrk,” a person wrote to X (Previously Twitter).
Redditors also expressed their opinions on a South A-lister being cast as the villain in Pathaan 2. While some saw Yash as the ideal choice, others questioned whether the Pushpa actor would be cast in the film. However, fervent Arjun fans said that his casting in Pathaan 2 is unlikely because the actor has an unspoken rule of avoiding appearing in films with two leads.
Meanwhile, producer Aditya Chopra has allegedly locked down the script for Pathaan 2 and intends to begin production early next year. While SRK and Deepika Padukone will reprise their roles in the film, the search for the antagonist is ongoing. The production banner, which was previously directed by Siddharth Anand, is looking for a new director to lend a fresh perspective to the spy film.
