Sources informed India Today that the Jawan 2 script has been locked after months of development.

“A script and idea for Jawan 2 had been in the works for a while. A few weeks ago, the script was finalised. SRK will begin work on the film after completing King,” a source said.

What Atlee had said about Jawan 2

Earlier, in an interview with India Today, when Atlee was asked about the reports of a Jawan sequel, he said it's not on the cards anytime soon. When asked whether he would be collaborating with SRK again, he said, “I think Shah Rukh sir and I will definitely work on something. But Jawan 2, I personally feel, maybe some years later, not the immediate next. But definitely Shah Rukh sir, and I will look into something when it comes in its flow.”
