Yash Raj Films’ Spyverse is in trouble after the unexpected flop of War 2. Despite starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film failed to impress audiences and is considered the weakest in the franchise. The failure was so big that NTR’s standalone spy film was reportedly cancelled. With the series struggling, reports say Shah Rukh Khan has been approached for a cameo in the upcoming film Alpha. His appearance could bring the magic back to the Spyverse.
Will Shah Rukh Khan Make A Cameo In Alia Bhatt’s Alpha?
Alpha will be a female-led film, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Bollywood Hungama reports that producer Aditya Chopra has personally asked Shah Rukh to make a special cameo. The source shared, “At the moment, Pathaan is the most talked about character of the Spy Universe. Aditya Chopra has picked up the call on Shah Rukh Khan to make a cameo in Alpha. He has designed a special part for him, which leads to Pathaan 2. Shah Rukh Khan has asked for some time to think over the same, as he has allotted bulk dates to King at the moment.”
Shah Rukh has already blocked November for his next film, King, but he is reportedly trying to adjust his schedule. Aditya has requested three to four days of shooting early in the month. The source added, “Shah Rukh Khan had blocked the entire November for the shoot of King, but at the request of Adi, he is trying to reschedule the commitment to make his cameo in Alpha a reality. He will confirm his presence in a week to 10 days. If not a proper cameo, he might just shoot for an end-credit sequence of Alpha.”
YRF Also Planning Salman Khan’s Surprise Appearance
The makers are also thinking about bringing Salman Khan as Tiger for a cameo. However, they plan to approach him only if it has the same impact as his appearance in Pathaan.
The YRF Spy Universe started with the Tiger films but truly grew with Shah Rukh’s Pathaan in 2023. While the original Tiger films, War, and Pathaan were hits, Tiger 3 underperformed and War 2’s failure has left the franchise uncertain. Alpha is seen as a key film (especially being female-led) to revive audience interest.
Shah Rukh Khan’s cameo could change the Spyverse’s fortunes. Fans are eager to see if he steps in to save the franchise. His appearance could boost Alpha and build excitement for Pathaan 2, keeping the Spyverse alive.
