Fans request Siddharth Anand to direct Pathaan 2

While 2023 started on a rocking note with director Siddharth Anand delivering the biggest blockbuster with ‘Pathaan’, 2024 started off with Fighter emerging as the first hit of 2024. Now, speculations are rife that while the sequel of Pathaan, is going to go on the floors this year, Siddharth Anand may not helm it. 

Anand's approach has been very evident, of not directing sequels and rather focusing on creating franchises with his astute cinematic vision. Despite this, fans are fervently requesting him to helm the sequel to his blockbuster hit 'Pathaan'.

Fans have taken to social media and persistently expressed how they want Siddharth Anand to direct the sequel too and repeat his previous success with Shah Rukh Khan. The Pathaan director typically sets a benchmark with his unique presentations and strategically takes a fresh perspective to the next one.

Known for his knack in establishing successful cinematic universes with films like 'Bang Bang', 'War', 'Pathaan', and now 'Fighter', it remains to be seen if Anand makes an exception.
