Main Hoon Na 2 Takes Pole Position After King: Farah Khan Cracks Double-Role Concept for Shah Rukh Khan

Post King Shah Rukh Khan's next big-screen venture is shaping up to be Main Hoon Na 2, a sequel to the 2004 cult classic. Pinkvilla reports that the project has surged ahead as the front-runner in SRK's packed schedule, with Farah Khan developing a fresh story that puts the superstar in a double role. The idea is said to preserve the original's patriotic, action-comedy spirit while cranking up the entertainment quotient.

Farah is currently fleshing out the screenplay with her writing team and Red Chillies' in-house writers. Sources say SRK loved the new direction and the double-role concept, but he wants a script that surpasses the first film's impact before committing. He is expected to hear a full narration after wrapping King in May 2026 and will decide based on the final draft

The sequel aims to bring back key cast members from the original Main Hoon Na adding fresh faces to keep the nostalgia alive. The story will reportedly center on a new national threat, blending action, comedy, and emotional beats that made the 2004 film a fan favorite.

Trade insiders note that SRK's cautious approach is rare, but the high-profile nature of the project, combined with Farah's proven track record (Om Shanti Om, Happy New Year), makes it a hot ticket for 2026-27. If greenlit, Main Hoon Na 2 will mark the third collaboration between the duo and could become a major box-office event.
