Excitement is at an all-time high as Alia Bhatt, the versatile Bollywood actress, gears up to make her Hollywood debut with “Heart Of Stone.” But that’s not all; she has now reportedly joined Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) spy universe and is all set to headline the first female-led spy film in the franchise created by Aditya Chopra. This puts Alia in the spotlight, beating OGs Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone to become the first actress with her standalone movie in the YRF spy universe.

A source close to the entertainment portal Bollywood Hungama revealed some intriguing details about Alia’s character in the upcoming spy film. She will portray a de-glam hero not confined by traditional gender stereotypes. The source shared, “Alia will play a gender-free spy. She won’t be playing a gender-specific action heroine but a hero like Salman and SRK. Adi Chopra wants to break the stereotypical image of the female hero, ke agar heroine superhero hogi toh glamorous aur sexy hogi. Alia will play a makeup-free, no-vanity superhero on a mission to save the world.”

The film will be a groundbreaking addition to the Yash Raj Spy Universe, and Alia Bhatt’s inclusion indicates that the franchise aims to cater to diverse audience segments. She will join the ranks of super-agents portrayed by Bollywood’s biggest stars like Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Shah Rukh Khan.

The upcoming spy film will be an out-and-out action entertainer, showcasing Alia Bhatt like never before. The YRF Spy Universe has already witnessed blockbuster success with films like “Ek Tha Tiger,” “Tiger Zinda Hai,” “War,” and “Pathaan,” featuring some of India’s finest superstars. Aditya Chopra’s commitment to inclusivity and novelty in storytelling is evident through Alia’s role as a powerful, makeup-free superhero.

Furthermore, the source also revealed that the first film in the spy universe led by Alia Bhatt will not feature any other prominent faces from the YRF Spy Universe, allowing her to shine brightly in her standalone movie.

In addition to Alia Bhatt, another talented actress, Kiara Advani, is making her mark in the spy universe, as she joins Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in “War 2.” The YRF Spy Universe continues to captivate audiences with its impressive lineup of stars and thrilling storylines.

Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on Alia Bhatt’s action-packed performance and are excited to witness the YRF Spy Universe expand further with these fresh and powerful additions. As the film’s production progresses, expectations continue to soar for yet another blockbuster franchise from Yash Raj Films.
