Vicky Kaushal is reportedly in talks to join the Yash Raj Films (YRF) Spy Universe, following Alia Bhatt's inclusion in the franchise. The franchise already boasts an impressive lineup of superstars, including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. According to a source, conversations have been ongoing, and Kaushal is eager to be part of this ambitious project. The idea is to introduce a fresh narrative thread within the existing world, with Kaushal set to star in a standalone film.
If everything goes according to plan, Kaushal will feature in a film of his own, similar to Khan and Roshan's roles in the franchise. The makers believe he has the charisma and acting chops to lead a standalone story. This decision follows Kaushal's recent box office success with Chhaava, which became one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films ever. With his proven track record, Kaushal seems like a natural fit for the YRF Spy Universe.
The YRF Spy Universe has already become one of Bollywood's most lucrative franchises, with War 2 being its sixth installment. The film features Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani in lead roles and is set for a theatrical release on August 14, 2025. If things stay on track, Kaushal's film is set to go on the floors by 2026, with the director to be chosen in the coming months. With its impressive lineup of films and talented cast, the YRF Spy Universe is shaping up to be a cinematic powerhouse.
The inclusion of Vicky Kaushal in the YRF Spy Universe would be a significant addition to the franchise. With his acting prowess and box office draw, Kaushal could bring a fresh perspective to the franchise. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the YRF Spy Universe evolves with new characters and storylines.
