If reports are to be believed, Aditya Chopra is planning to expand YRF’s spy universe with a female-led film which will star Alia Bhatt in the leading role.
Here’s some good news for all Alia Bhatt fans! One hears that Aditya Chopra is planning to expand YRF’s spy universe with a female-led film and guess what, this big-budget spectacle will be headlined by none other than the Gangubai Kathiawadi actress.
A report in Variety quoted a trade source, “Alia is one of the biggest superstars of our country today and she will play a super agent in the YRF spy universe like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan. This will be another epic action spectacle that will leave people at the edge of their seats. Alia will take on a mission that will push her to the edge and this gritty action film will expand the YRF spy universe further.”
According to the source, Alia will be presented in a whole new, never-seen-before manner in this yet untitled movie.
“Her inclusion in the YRF spy universe indicates that Aditya Chopra is leaving no audience segment out of the equation for this franchise. Alia is the biggest superstar amongst youth and Gen Z of India and she is also one of the most adored actresses of our generation. She playing a spy in an all-out adrenaline pumping entertainer is a big novelty for all audience skews that she appeals to,” the source said while speaking with the publication.

The source further added, “Alia is as big as the biggest heroes of our time and she headlining a YRF spy universe film pretty much cements this perception. Aditya Chopra is very bullish about Alia as an actress who can helm and start a franchise within the spy universe on her own and he will pull all stops to mount this project at a scale that will be jaw-dropping.”
Touted to be the 8th film in YRF Spy Universe after Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, War 2, and Tiger vs Pathaan, this Alia Bhatt starrer is right now in the development and pre-production stage. The film is expected to go on floors in 2024.
Currently, Alia is awaiting the release of her upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Helmed by Karan Johar, the family entertainer also stars Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.
