Anil Kapoor to sign a multi-film deal with YRF for their Spy Universe!

Aditya Chopra has brought together the largest IPs in Indian cinema over the past ten years with the YRF Spy Universe, which features Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Alia Bhatt among others. A media source said that Aditya Chopra has inked a multi-film deal with Anil Kapoor for his legendary YRF Spy Universe, even though the universe is growing with each year that goes by.

 

Anil Kapoor has signed on to portray the chief of R&AW (Research and Operations Wing) for the YRF Spy Universe, according to sources close to the development. “Anil Kapoor is bowled over by the vision of Aditya Chopra for the Spy Universe and took no time to sign the dotted lines for the part. He begins his affiliation with an appearance in War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan, NTR Jr, and Kiara Advani in lead. This will be followed by the Alia Bhatt and Sharvari starrer Alpha and finally lead to the Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone film, Pathaan 2,” disclosed a source close to the development.

 

Under the Spy Universe IP, YRF's literary wing is now working on numerous additional movies, one of which is the eagerly anticipated Salman Khan vs. Shah Rukh Khan feature. “Anil Kapoor will be the constant in all spy films,” the source further revealed.

 

Speaking of YRF, the film War 2, helmed by Ayan Mukerji, will have its theatrical debut on August 15, 2025. The first female-led story in the universe, Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail, will come after this. Although the Pathaan 2 timetables are currently unknown, the movie is now in the writing phase and is anticipated to be released later in 2025.
