Alia Bhatt to engage in a fierce combat with Bobby Deol in upcoming spy thriller: Report

Alia Bhatt

is gearing up to unleash her action-packed avatar in an upcoming spy thriller by Yash Raj Films (YRF). The yet-untitled project, helmed by director Shiv Rawail and produced by

Aditya Chopra

, promises to be a high-octane spectacle featuring Bhatt and

Sharvari Wagh

as formidable undercover agents, with

Bobby Deol

portraying the antagonist.
According to the Midday, this project marks YRF’s first female-led venture in the spy genre.

Aditya Chopra, recognizing the potential to captivate audiences, particularly women, has spared no expense in crafting a thrilling action thriller. With seven planned action set-pieces, the film aims to showcase Bhatt and Sharvari’s characters as adept and lethal operatives.Drawing inspiration from the success of previous YRF spy franchises featuring stars like Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, Aditya Chopra is keen on elevating the female-led story into a compelling action entertainer. To achieve this, a diverse team of action directors, including Korean stunt coordinator Se-yeong Oh, Franz Spillhaus, and Indian action director Sunil Rodrigues, has been hired to ensure each sequence is visually distinct and adrenaline-pumping. Shedding light on the action, a source was quoted in the report, “While one sequence will see Alia doing martial arts, another will have her in fierce combat with Bobby.”
For Alia Bhatt, known for her versatility on-screen, this project marks a significant milestone. Despite her previous foray into action with her Hollywood debut, ‘Heart of Stone’ (2023), the actress is committed to undergoing rigorous training to convincingly portray a lethal agent.
Director Shiv Rawail plans to commence filming after September, allowing ample time for Alia Bhatt and Sharvari to undergo intensive training to execute the demanding action sequences. Additionally, the film is reportedly slated to combine with existing YRF spy franchises, as Alia Bhatt’s character crosses paths with Shah Rukh Khan‘s ‘Pathaan,’ Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger,’ and Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kabir’ from the ‘War’ franchise.
