'RRR' star Jr NTR is likely to join the high-octane franchise, 'Pathaan 2' with Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan, making the sequel even bigger in scale and star power.
Filmmaker Aditya Chopra is planning to take the South superstar’s character forward, as per a report in Sacnilk. Jr NTR will either step in as the parallel lead or as a menacing antagonist in the SRK starrer.
The announcement came during the actor’s recent visit to Dubai, where an unexpected reveal at a public event put an end to months of speculation around the future of the blockbuster franchise. Industry reports suggest that 'Pathaan 2' will go on floors next year and will be shot extensively in Chile. According to a Mid-Day report, discussions around filming in the country gained momentum during Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font’s recent visit to India.
Reports suggest that 'Pathaan 2' will release ahead of the high-profile 'Tiger vs Pathaan'. An earlier Pinkvilla report suggested that the sequel will play a crucial role in setting up the clash between Shah Rukh Khan’s 'Pathaan' and Salman Khan’s 'Tiger'.
