Bobby Deol onboard YRF's next Spy Universe feature as a villain

Bobby Deol is cast in a villain role for the next film in the YRF Spy Universe, according to a Deadline report. The film reportedly features Alia Bhatt in the main role, marking the first in the Spy Universe films to have a female lead. She is playing an agent in the film, and the same goes for Bunty Aur Babli 2 fame Sharvari Wagh.

The director of the film is Shiv Rawail, who recently helmed the Netflix show The Railway Men. No information about the film's story is yet known, but Deadline reports that it will go on floors later this year.

The YRF Spy Universe films started with 2012's Salman Khan-starrer Ek Tha Tiger, and there have been six more entries in the universe since then.

Deol recently earned the audience's appreciation and won Best Supporting Actor at the 2023 Filmfare Awards for his antagonist role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, opposite Ranbir Kapoor. On the other hand, Bhatt played the role of a hacker in her Hollywood debut film, Heart of Stone, opposite Gal Gadot.
