Alia Bhatt Joins YRF Spy Universe As Headliner: Report

Aditya Chopra and team have planned an epic female-led spy film with Alia Bhatt

There are stars and then there is Alia Bhatt. From playing the head of a brothel in Gangubai Kathiawadi to winning a million hearts already with her “Rani” avatar in Karan Johar's upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, the actress is growing from strength to strength. Now, as per a PinkVilla report, Alia is all set to join Aditya Chopra's spy universe. The actress will reportedly headline the 8th film in Yash Raj Film's Spy Universe, which is one of the biggest IPs in the history of Indian cinema. 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 in today's time 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 planned an epic female-led spy film with Alia Bhatt which is expected to push her to the edge.”

The source added, “Alia Bhatt's inclusion to the Spy Universe indicates that Aditya Chopra is leaving no audience segment out of the equation. She will be playing a spy in an out-and-out action entertainer, and this will be a big novelty for the audience base that she appeals to. It's going to be Alia Bhatt like never before.”

Talking about Aditya Chopra's vision for Alia Bhatt's character, the source added, “Aditya Chopra is very bullish about Alia and has big plans for her character arc in his universe. He is looking to start a franchise within the Spy Universe centred around Alia's character and he will pull all stops to mount the yet untitled film on a scale that none can imagine.”

The Alia Bhatt project is expected to be the 8th film in the YRF Spy Universe, the report added. The film, which is in the pre-production stage, will go on floors in 2024.
