The upcoming YRF Spy Universe film Alpha has been generating strong buzz not only for its action-packed narrative but also for its star cast and reported remuneration figures.
The film marks the first on-screen collaboration between Alia Bhatt and Yash Raj Films in the spy franchise, with Sharvari Wagh, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor also playing key roles.
Alia Bhatt Reportedly Highest-Paid in Cast
According to media reports, Alia Bhatt has emerged as the highest-paid actor in the film, with an estimated remuneration of around ₹25 crore for her lead role.
The actor headlines the project as a central figure in the expanding YRF Spy Universe, which already includes titles like Pathaan, Tiger 3, War, and Ek Tha Tiger.
Industry speculation attributes her reported fee to her consistent box office performance and critical success across multiple genres.
Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in Supporting Roles
Actor Bobby Deol, who plays a key supporting role in the spy thriller, is reportedly earning around ₹6 crore for the project.
Veteran actor Anil Kapoor, also part of the ensemble cast, is said to have received a similar remuneration package, reflecting his significant role in the narrative.
Both actors bring additional weight to the expanding spy franchise, which continues to build interconnected storylines across films.
Sharvari Wagh Among Emerging Leads
Actor Sharvari Wagh, who features alongside Alia Bhatt in a prominent role, is reportedly the lowest-paid among the principal cast, with earnings estimated at around ₹3 crore.
Despite the difference in pay scale, her role is expected to be significant in establishing new character arcs within the YRF Spy Universe.
Delayed Release Schedule for ‘Alpha’
Alpha has undergone multiple release date changes. Initially planned for Christmas 2025, the film was later shifted to July 10, 2026, before being rescheduled again to July 3, 2026.
The production is part of YRF’s long-term expansion strategy for its spy franchise, which began with Pathaan and continues to grow into one of India’s most ambitious cinematic universes.
Franchise Expansion and Speculation
Reports also suggest possible cameo appearances and narrative crossovers within the spy universe, including speculation around Hrithik Roshan’s return as Kabir.
There are also unconfirmed claims that Alpha may mark Bobby Deol’s final appearance as a villain within the franchise, though the makers have not officially confirmed these developments.
