YRF Spy Universe expands with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's upcoming film
This universe kicked off in 2012 with the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer 'Ek Tha Tiger', followed by its sequel 'Tiger Zinda Hai' in 2017. In 2018, 'War,' featuring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, was released. 2023 brought 'Pathaan,' starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, followed by 'Tiger 3.' Now, the upcoming film is set to star Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, adding a fresh dynamic to the franchise.
The challenges
The 'Munjiya' actress admitted that the biggest challenge she faced in the spy thriller was the action genre, something she had never explored before. Although she had worked on a survival-action film like 'Vedaa', she points out that 'Alpha' involves sleek, stylish action, which was a significant shift from her previous work. “It was very different from the work that I had done before. The most challenging part would definitely be this, she said.
Career turnover
The actress's career took an exciting turn last year with the huge success of 'Munjya,' a horror comedy directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. Following that, she showcased her talent in the web film 'Maharaj' and also appeared in Vedaa alongside John Abraham, marking a diverse range of projects in her growing filmography.
She reflected on the changes in her career following her recent successes, expressing a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility. She added, "There was always a very high benchmark for myself. I'm only striving to reach there and get there."
