Bollywood A-lister Alia Bhatt is all set to break new ground as she takes the lead in Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) first female-led spy action film. The announcement of the director was made on February 2, 2024, with YRF entrusting the reins to Shiv Rawail, who previously served as assistant director on big-budget productions like Fan and Dhoom 3, made his directorial debut in YRF’s successful Netflix series The Railway Men. Bhatt won’t be going solo in this action extravaganza. Joining her is Sharvari Wagh, creating a powerful double-agent duo.

The YRF Spy Universe has been synonymous with adrenaline-pumping action, and this film promises to maintain that tradition. According to a report in Mid-day, producer Aditya Chopra and director Shiv Rawail have meticulously planned seven distinct action set pieces. Bhatt and Wagh will trade blows not only with the enemy but also with Bobby Deol, who takes on the role of the antagonist.

This project, the sixth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, is being envisioned as a high-budget spectacle. Chopra recognizes the potential to draw a wider audience, particularly women, with the film’s unique perspective. A source close to the production revealed, “While Katrina Kaif’s Zoya and Deepika Padukone’s Rubina from the Tiger and Pathaan franchises have been loved, this marks the first female-led project. So, Aditya is keen to make it a cool action entertainer that sees Alia and Sharvari’s characters as mean killing machines.”

YRF is known for collaborating with diverse action directors to ensure each fight sequence feels fresh and captivating. This film will be no exception, with a team of experts including Korean stunt coordinator Se Yeong Oh, Franz Spillhaus, and Indian action director Sunil Rodrigues. Expect to see Bhatt engaging in everything from martial arts to close-quarter combat with Deol.

The untitled project marks a significant addition to YRF’s burgeoning Spy Universe, which has delivered high-octane action flicks like Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019), Pathaan (2023), and Tiger 3 (2023).

Sooraj Pancholi opens up about his next film as he gets snapped with co-star Akanksha Sharma; says, “It is a biopic on one of the bravest Indian warriors”

3 weeks ago0

Sooraj Pancholi, who has only done a handful films ever since his debut about nine years ago, is excited about shooting an important project. Even though the actor made his big Bollywood debut in 2015 alongside Athiya Shetty in Hero, Sooraj has only done three films by far, which includes Satellite Shankar and Time To Dance. As he is gearing up for his most awaited comeback in Bollywood, he opened up about shooting for an upcoming biopic which is expected to be a historical drama.

Recently, Sooraj Pancholi was seen at the premiere of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s web-series Heeramandi and was accompanied by his co-star Akanksha Sharma. His latest spotting at the premiere created lots of curiosity around his upcoming project. Talking about his comeback film, Sooraj says, “I am glad to be back on set. The film is a biopic on one of the bravest Indian warriors who fought and defended the Somnath temple. I play a warrior in it.” As per reports, Sooraj is all set to star in an action-entertainer. Sooraj also added, “I am in no rush or race. I want to play different characters in every film. I just want to grow as a performer and do my best every time.”

Sooraj Pancholi was expected to make a debut somewhere around 2014 but was delayed after his former girlfriend Jiah Khan died by suicide and he was arrested in the case of abetment. However, it was last year that he was finally acquitted from the case after a thorough CBI investigation which went on for almost a decade. There were also reports stating that the actor would be doing a sports drama. However, there has been no confirmation on the same.

Taapsee Pannu credits audience for rise of female-centric films like Queen, The Dirty Picture: “This change in the audience for me is a big confidence booster”

3 weeks ago0

Taapsee Pannu has emerged as a beacon of change, fearlessly taking on roles that defy stereotypes and empower women. The actress has not only entertained us with her stellar performance on screen but also has challenged societal norms, making a compelling case for the importance of female-led cinema. In recent days, a lot of changes have been observed in the taste of the audiences. The viewers have been encouraging the female-led films along with the male-driven narratives that we often see.

Recently Taapsee Pannu spoke about how the audiences are also becoming receptive to unconventional stories. She says “They are really interested in female-led stories. Watching films like The Dirty Picture (2011), Kahaani (2012), and Queen (2013) turn into commercial success gave me assurance that I can sustain a career in this industry without having to go down the beaten path. And this change in the audience for me is a big confidence booster.”

While the industry has also managed to keep pace with this change, Taapsee Pannu feels that there is still a divide in terms of which actors are cast in performance -led films and which can work for commercial scripts. She also adds, “I am hoping for that too.”

Taapsee Pannu serves as a shining example of what it means to be a trailblazer. With each new project, she proves that female-led films not only have a place in Bollywood but also have the power to spark real change in society. The actress will be next seen in Phir Aayi Haseena Dilruba and Khel Khel Mein.
