Bobby Deol to join YRF spy universe alongside Alia Bhatt? Here’s what we know

According to reports, Bobby Deol has already signed on to star in the untitled YRF Spy Universe movie, which could put him against Alia Bhatt.

Bobby Deol’s cameo appearance with Ranbir Kapoor in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal dominated hearts and headlines. And now, if a recent Pinkvilla claim is accurate, Bobby will be up against Alia Bhatt in the next movie, YRF Spy Universe. According to reports, Bobby Deol has already signed on to star as the movie’s villain in the untitled picture.

“After Animal, this is yet another author-backed antagonist turn for Bobby Deol. He will be playing the terrifying evil force who takes on Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the film. The paperwork is done, and Bobby is all excited to start shooting for the film in the second half of 2024,” a source cited by the entertainment portal claimed.

The insider added that Bobby was specifically created for this persona, who is “full of swag.” “Bobby has a unique appearance in the movie,” the insider said. It should be mentioned, though, that Bobby’s participation in Alia’s Spy Universe film has not yet received formal confirmation.

Earlier this year, Yash Raj Films CEO Akshaye Widhani confirmed Alia Bhatt’s solo YRF Spy Universe movie, saying, “As one of the most prized IPs, we take a lot of pride in it. So there’s a lot of stuff that’s going to come in the spy universe. We’re going to see more and more films getting made under it. But, of course, not going to share everything here. We will talk about it at a more opportune time. For now, I can say that Alia Bhatt is headlining a spy universe film.”

 

Alia Bhatt, meantime, just finished filming Jigra, which will soon be seen as well. Later this year, Vedang Raina will also be starring in the movie. In addition, Alia is working on Jee Le Zara, directed by Farhan Akhtar and starring Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.
