After delivering back-to-back blockbusters between 2012 and 2024 like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3, Yash Raj Films is now gearing up to expand its ambitious spy universe. While War 2 witnessed Hrithik Roshan reprise his role as the stylish super-spy Kabir, the film also introduced NTR Jr. in a powerful parallel lead. On the other hand, Alpha is set to break new ground as the first female-led action franchise in the universe, headlined by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.
