Anil Kapoor is currently one of the most busiest actors and has been shooting back-to-back. Recent reports have suggested that the actor has now signed a multi-film deal with Yash Raj Films (YRF). He has joined the prestigious Yash Raj Films (YRF) Spy Universe and will be playing the role of the RAW chief in an upcoming espionage thriller starring Alia Bhatt in the lead.
Bollywood Hungama report quoted a source saying, “Anil Kapoor has joined the YRF Spy Universe. He will be playing the part of RAW Chief in the most celebrated Spy Universe, taking place of Girish Karnad, who has managed to make a cult name for himself with his work in Tiger Franchise. Anil Kapoor is expected to make his first appearance in the Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh film directed by Shiv Rawail. However, we don’t rule out the possibility of a cameo in War 2 as well. It’s a long-term deal that he has signed with YRF and watch out for his appearance in almost all spy films of the universe.”
In March, it was made official that Alia Bhatt will be seen in a standalone YRF Spy Universe film. The news of her standalone spy film was confirmed by Yash Raj Films’ CEO Akshaye Widhani during the FICCI Frames events. He shared the news after he was urged to share details about the universe’s upcoming plans. As reported by The Indian Express, Akshaye Widhani said, “I’ll share the worst-kept secret in the industry, which is, that Alia Bhatt is headlining a Spy Universe film, and the schedule starts later this year. But talking about this spy universe, we are just so thrilled and excited about having this IP in the studio.”
Alia’s standalone spy film will be the sixth film in the spy universe. So far, YRF has released five films in the spy world. These include Ek Tha Tiger Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, Tiger 3,
Pathaan and War. While Alia’s film has been confirmed, it is rumoured that YRF is also working on War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Adavani, and Pathaan 2. The film will mark SRK’s return as Pathaan.
