Allu Arjun to Turn Deadly Villain for Shah Rukh Khan's Next Movie?

South actors becoming villains in Hindi films is nothing new. In War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Junior NTR will portray a villain. However, what if we told you that Allu Arjun, who starred in Pushpa 2, is going to portray a villain in a Shah Rukh Khan movie? You read correctly! It appears like Arjun and SRK will soon be engaged in combat on a large screen.

Allu Arjun is reportedly going to have a bad part in Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan 2. The YRF film is a follow-up to SRK's 2023 hit film Pathaan. John Abraham, who had a negative character in the first movie, costarred with Deepika Padukone. It appears like the producers are trying to make the second movie bigger and better. Many others shared their responses on social media as soon as the news broke.

In 2023, Shah Rukh Khan returned to Bollywood with the film Pathaan, which helped the industry recover from a period of decline. The movie is currently slated for a sequel following a successful run at the box office. YRF is reportedly making a special effort to find the greatest casting choice for the movie. At that point, there were serious rumours that Allu Arjun may portray the antagonist in Pathaan 2.

Allu Arjun is ready for his Bollywood debut?

Netizens were ecstatic at the prospect of such an ensemble casting, even if neither the producers nor the South star responded to the rumours. An X user said, "I know it's Allu Arjun the antagonist in Pathaan 2. Send me my prize @yrf @SRKUniverse @iamsrk."

The idea of a South A-lister playing the antagonist in Pathaan 2 was also discussed by Reddit members. Some questioned if the Pushpa star would be featured in the movie, while others believed that Yash was the perfect choice. However, devoted Arjun supporters contended that since the actor has an unspoken rule against appearing in a movie with two leads, there is little chance that he will be featured in Pathaan 2. As of right now, neither the villain's casting nor the Pathaan 2 script's locking has been confirmed. We won't know the truth until the producers formally reveal it, so these are merely conjectures. 

According to reports, producer Aditya Chopra has locked down the script for Pathaan 2 and intends to begin shooting early in the upcoming year. The search for the antagonist continues, even though SRK and Deepika Padukone will return to their roles. The production banner is also searching for a new filmmaker to provide a new viewpoint to the spy movie, which was previously helmed by Siddharth Anand.
