Alia and Sharvari: Leading the Spy Charge
In a Pinkvilla exclusive from July, we learned that Aditya Chopra is expanding his YRF Spy Universe by signing Alia Bhatt as a groundbreaking action entertainer. This film marks Yash Raj Films’ first foray into a female-led spy movie and is the eighth installment in their star-studded Spy Universe. But here’s the latest twist- joining Alia in this action-packed adventure is none other than Sharvari, known for her role in “Bunty Aur Babli 2.”
These superstars are stepping into a league dominated by powerhouses like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. The film’s dynamic and action-packed nature demands rigorous preparation, including training in mixed martial arts. Alia and Sharvari are set to undergo this intense three-month regimen to ensure they are in peak physical condition for the demanding action sequences.
Production and Shooting Details
The action will kick off around May 2024 in Mumbai, but that’s just the beginning. This film promises to be a globe-trotting adventure, with shooting planned at multiple international locations. While it’s still in the developmental stage, pre-production is expected to commence by the end of this year.
But before Alia fully dedicates her attention to this YRF production, she’s wrapping up Vasan Bala’s prison break film with Dharma Productions and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Baiju Bawra.” Sharvari, on the other hand, is currently shooting alongside John Abraham for NIkkhil Advani’s “Vedaa.”
The YRF Spy Universe Unveiled
The YRF Spy Universe has been keeping Bollywood fans on the edge of their seats. The immediate offerings include Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in “Tiger 3,” slated for release this Diwali. “War 2” with Hrithik Roshan, NTR Jr, and Kiara Advani kicks off in November. And the much-anticipated “Tiger vs. Pathaan,” featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, is set to take off early next year.
The Rising Star: Sharvari Wagh
Sharvari Wagh, known for her debut in “Bunty Aur Babli 2,” is poised to shine even brighter. Aditya Chopra’s decision to cast her alongside Alia Bhatt in the YRF Spy Universe film is a testament to her unstoppable talent. In an industry filled with promising actresses, Sharvari stands out as a star in the making. Her entry into the YRF Spy Universe, usually reserved for superstars, is a game-changer.
Currently, Sharvari is in action, shooting for Nikhil Advani’s “Vedaa.” If the reports are accurate, this female-led-spy film will mark her first collaboration with Alia Bhatt and her entry into the exciting world of espionage.
A Star-Studded Spy Universe
Besides Alia and Sharvari, the YRF Spy Universe boasts names like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, and Kiara Advani. Each actress plays a pivotal role in various spy films within the franchise. Katrina excels as ISI agent Zoya in the popular “Tiger” series, while Deepika dazzles as ISI Rubina in Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan”. Kiara Advani recently joined the universe and will feature alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in “WAR 2.”
With Alia Bhatt and Sharvari leading the change, the YRF Spy Universe continues to expand and evolve. This yet-untitled spy film is poised to be a cinematic spectacle, matching the grandeur of its predecessors.
