Yash Raj Films (YRF) has unveiled the title for its first female-fronted instalment in the studio’s successful spy universe franchise.
Titled “Alpha,” the film stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as super agents. “This is a clear take by YRF to highlight a societal misinterpretation that only men can be Alphas,” said a source close to YRF. “Alpha” is helmed by Shiv Rawail who debuted as a director with the studio’s hit 2023 Netflix series “The Railway Men.” The title marks a significant shift for the action-packed series, which has previously centered on male protagonists, albeit with strong female characters.
Created by producer and YRF chair and MD Aditya Chopra, the spy universe kicked off with the Tiger franchise, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, beginning with “Ek Tha Tiger” (2012) and “Tiger Zinda Hai” (2017), and continued with “War” (2019), starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. “Pathaan,” starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, was one of the biggest Indian hits of 2023, as was “Tiger 3.” Next up in the universe are “War 2,” starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr., “Pathaan 2” and “Tiger vs Pathaan.” Bhatt has become one of Bollywood’s leading actors since her debut with “Student of the Year” (2012).
She’s known for critically acclaimed performances in films like “Highway” (2014), “Raazi” (2018) and “Gangubai Kathiawadi” (2022), for which she won best actress at India’s National Film Awards.
