Acclaimed director Ali Abbas Zafar, known for his work on films like 'Sultan' and 'Tiger Zinda Hai', has made a return to Yash Raj Films (YRF), sparking speculation about his potential involvement in the sequel to the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Pathaan'. The original film, made on a budget of Rs 270 crores, went on to collect Rs 1050 crores worldwide, making it one of the biggest profitable ventures for YRF. With Siddharth Anand, the director of 'Pathaan', moving on to other projects, the possibility of Ali directing 'Pathaan 2' is high.
Ali's return to YRF has generated excitement among fans, who are eager to see him helm the next instalment of the 'Pathaan' franchise. His previous work with YRF has resulted in some of the studio's biggest successes, including 'Sultan' and 'Tiger Zinda Hai'. The 'Pathaan' franchise has rejuvenated the spy thriller genre in Bollywood, and fans are eagerly awaiting news of a sequel.
While there is no official confirmation of Ali's involvement in 'Pathaan 2', his return to YRF suggests that something big is in the works. If he does helm the sequel, it could be a winning combination of storytelling prowess and action-packed sequences that fans of the franchise are waiting for. Meanwhile, YRF's spy universe continues to expand, with new additions like the Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-starrer 'Alpha', which marks the first female-led film in the spy universe.
The YRF spy universe, created by producer Aditya Chopra, includes blockbusters like 'Ek Tha Tiger', 'Tiger Zinda Hai', 'War', 'Pathaan', and 'Tiger 3'. With Ali's return to YRF, fans are eagerly anticipating what's next for the studio and the 'Pathaan' franchise. Will Ali helm 'Pathaan 2'? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - the combination of Ali's direction and YRF's production prowess has the potential to create something truly special.
