Alia Bhatt and Sharvari are slated to portray super-agents in Yash Raj Films’ upcoming Spy Universe film titled Alpha, announced by the makers. Directed by Shiv Rawail, known for YRF's Netflix series The Railway Men, Alpha marks the first female-led instalment in the YRF Spy Universe.
The film will integrate them into a cinematic universe that includes blockbuster titles like Pathaan and franchises such as Tiger and War.
Reports indicated that Alia and Sharvari will lead a female-led espionage film produced by YRF’s Aditya Chopra.
In the title reveal video, Alia can be heard saying, “Greek alphabet ka sabse pehla akshar. Aur humare programme ka motto.. sabse pehle, sabse tezz, sabse veer. Dhyaan se dekho toh har sheher mein ek jungle hai. Aur jungle mein hamesha Raj karega.. ALPHA!”
“It’s the time of the #ALPHA girls,” Alia wrote on Instagram.
YRF has announced the start of filming for Alpha in a 51-second clip on its X page. The Spy Universe began with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012, followed by sequels Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Tiger 3 (2023). War (2019) and Pathaan (2023) expanded the universe. Alia was last seen in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, while Sharvari starred in Munjya.
