Earlier, a report from pinkvilla confirmed that Alia is all set to join Aditya Chopra’s spy universe. The actress will reportedly star in the eighth film in Yash Raj Film’s Spy Universe, one of the biggest IPs in the history of Indian cinema. I don’t know about you, but we can’t keep calm. A source told the portal, “Alia Bhatt is one of the biggest crowd pullers of today and she will be playing a super agent in the YRF Spy Universe like Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan. Aditya Chopra and the team have an epic, by female-led spy film planned with Alia Bhatt, which is expected to push her to her limits.”
Talking about YRF’s Spy Universe, it started with Salman Khan as Tiger in the 2012 film Ek Tha Tiger. It was directed by Kabir Khan. Salman then reprized his role as Tiger in Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai. It was released in 2017. The next film, in the spy universe, was Siddharth Anand’s 2019 release War, starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Then came Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster Pathaan (2023), which also featured a special cameo from Salman Khan.
