Ajay Devgn remains the undisputed king of Bollywood franchises, with Shaitaan officially becoming the latest addition to his long list of hit film franchises. With the huge box office success of Shaitaan in 2024, the terrifying supernatural thriller is now being turned into a full-fledged franchise. The sequel will be called Shaitaan 2 and is set to go on the floors as early as 2026 and is poised to explore further into the dark arena of black magic.

Shaitaan 2 Will Venture into New Territory
Whereas the original movie dealt with a family’s battle with demonic possession of the character Vanraj (played by R. Madhavan), Shaitaan 2 is said to take fans to Kokam, a Maharashtra region that has a reputation for its association with black magic. Contrary to previous gossip, the sequel will not be inspired by the future Gujarati horror movie Vash Level 2, but will have an original story worked out by Aamil Keeyan Khan, who wrote the initial movie. The screenplay has already reached almost completion stage with only minor adjustments remaining.

Director Vikas Bahl will be back for the sequel, diving into pre-production after completing his romantic comedy Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jaya Bachchan.

Ajay Devgn’s Busy Franchise Roster
Shaitaan 2 will be Devgn’s sixth franchise movie in the works. His sequels on the cards include:

Son of Sardaar 2 (Releasing July 25, 2025)

De De Pyaar De 2 (November 14, 2025)

Dhamaal 4 (Eid 2026)

Drishyam 3 (October 2, 2026)

Golmaal 5 (Expected in 2027)

Devgn will also start filming Drishyam 3 in October 2025, while Shaitaan 2 or Golmaal 5 would be next, depending on whichever is ready sooner. Besides these sequels, he will feature in an original action-adventure movie named Ranger, which will be helmed by Mission Mangal’s Jagan Shakti.

With these, Ajay Devgn solidifies himself as the face of Indian cinematic franchises.
