🎬ROWDY RATHORE 2: KING OF STREETS

Bollywood action fans have been eagerly awaiting a sequel to Rowdy Rathore — a comedy-filled action blockbuster starring Akshay Kumar. However, according to a series of recent reports, the Rowdy Rathore 2 project has been officially canceled after three years of development. The original director and script were completed, but the producers: UTV Motion Pictures (now owned by Disney India) along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali — who co-owns the film — refused to “greenlight”. Instead of a sequel, the script was transferred to a new film, not directly related to Rowdy Rathore.

📌 Current situation
According to sources from Indian news sites, Rowdy Rathore 2 has been “scrapped” — meaning it has been permanently shelved as an official sequel.

The original script, penned by acclaimed screenwriter V. Vijayendra Prasad (who is behind many Indian blockbusters), has now been reworked into a new cop drama. The film is slated to start shooting in 2026 under South Indian director P. S. Mithran.
So far, there has been no official announcement about Akshay Kumar returning as the lead, or any details about the cast and characters for the “new version”.

🎥 Why is the trailer here — is there still “hope”?
A video tagged “Rowdy Rathore 2 – Official Trailer” is currently circulating on YouTube.
However, according to industry sources — most believe that this is not the official trailer of the film, but a fan-made trailer / concept teaser.
The reason: because the production company has not made any commitments. A source called it straight: “Rowdy Rathore 2 news is just spreading — but at the production office, there’s no real progress.”

📰 Why was part 2 canceled?
Although it started development a few years ago, the script for Rowdy Rathore 2 was considered “difficult to survive” — possibly due to Disney’s change in strategy, fear of risk, and the saturation of “weird” action movies.
The producer decided to “revive the script” — keeping the action and drama elements but changing the name and content to turn it into a new movie, hoping to be more successful without the burden of expectations from the previous part.
The hesitation between keeping the “Rowdy Rathore” brand or starting over made the director, producer, and distributor unable to find a common voice — leading to the decision to completely halt.

🔮 Is “Rowdy Rathore 2 Not Dead”?
Some sources still leave open the possibility of “returning” if the conditions are right — for example, a strong enough script, finding the right director & actors, or market demand “craving” for old-fashioned action.

However, current practice shows: the original “Rowdy Rathore 2”, starring Akshay Kumar — is likely just a memory.

✅ Conclusion
Rowdy Rathore 2 — a project once expected to be the next Bollywood action blockbuster — has been officially canceled. The trailer “appearing” online is most likely a fan-made product, not official.

The original script, however, is still alive — with a future as a new action film, separate from the old franchise, and could be released around 2026. For those who love “weird” action, that new film is still waiting to rekindle the fire.
