After the much-awaited King, Shah Rukh Khan is likely to reunite with filmmaker Farah Khan after almost 12 years. There has been a discussion going on for a long time about Farah working on the script of Main Hoon Na 2. Now, Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that Main Hoon Na 2 is emerging as the frontrunner in the race for King Khan’s next big screen. Sources reveal that talks between Shah Rukh and Farah are going strong, which hints at what could be their return to collaboration after a long hiatus.
Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan have a successful history, having delivered some of the most iconic films of Hindi cinema together. Their last collaboration was Happy New Year in 2014, which was a box-office success. Earlier, Om Shanti Om was released in 2007 and Main Hoon Na in 2004, which set a benchmark as a stylish entertainer full of patriotism, action, emotion and humor.
Now, two decades later, Main Hoon Na 2 is shaping up to be a big sequel while keeping the soul of the original intact. According to our sources, "Farah Khan has created an exciting double-role concept for Shahrukh Khan, which has got the superstar excited. It is said that the idea will add to the spirit and entertainment of the sequel, while Shah Rukh will explore two contrasting characters."
"With the return of the original cast, the film will be full of patriotism. The central theme revolves around a new threat to India, and the narrative will balance action with comedy. Interestingly, the main story idea came from Shahrukh Khan himself," The source further confirmed that the idea is being developed into a screenplay by Akash Kaushik.
It is expected that the DNA of the first film and Farah Khan’s signature humor will remain intact in the sequel. We also hear that along with new faces, the makers are also keen to bring back some of the original actors while adding a touch of nostalgia.
While the timelines are being worked out around Shah Rukh Khan’s busy schedule after King, insiders suggest that Main Hoon Na 2 has clearly moved ahead in priority. If things go well, this film could mark a celebratory reunion of Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan.
"Expect to hear the full details of Main Hoon Na 2 after Shah Rukh Khan completes the shooting of King around May 2026. He will decide on the project after the narration, while the writing process continues in full swing." Adds source.
Let us tell you, Main Hoon Na was directed by Farah Khan and produced by Gauri Khan and Ratan Jain under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment and Venus Movies. Sushmita Sen, Suniel Shetty, Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan played pivotal roles in the film revolving around Major Ram Prasad Sharma, who is sent on a secret mission to pose as a college student and protect the General’s daughter.
