Alia Bhatt is set to lead a new, female-driven film in the Yash Raj Films spy universe, joined by Sharvari Wagh. Directed by Shiv Rawail, the film has officially been titled Alpha, with shooting already underway.
The YRF announced the title Alpha on 5th July, along with news that the production has already begun. A source close to YRF explained, “This is YRF’s clear attempt to challenge the societal belief that only men can be Alphas.”
The announcement was accompanied by a video hinting at the thrilling chaos Alia and Sharvari will bring to the big screen in this exciting spy thriller. In the video, Alia’s voiceover states, “Greek alphabet ka sabse pehla akshar aur humare program ka motive. Sabse pehle, sabse tez, sabse veer. Dhyan se dekho toh har sheher me ek jungle hai aur jungle me hamesha raj karega alpha.”
The title Alpha marks a significant shift for the action series, which has previously focused on male leads, though it featured strong female characters. Created by producer and YRF chair Aditya Chopra, the spy universe began with the Tiger franchise, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, starting with Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). It continued with War (2019), featuring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, and saw massive success with Pathaan in 2023, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, along with Tiger 3.
