Vicky to Lead a New Narrative Thread in Spyverse?
Sources close to the development revealed, “Conversations have been happening for a while, and Vicky is keen to be part of this ambitious franchise. It’s still in early stages, but the idea is to introduce a fresh narrative thread within the existing YRF Spy Universe. The makers believe he has the charisma and acting prowess to lead a standalone story.”

Post-Chhaava High
Vicky Kaushal was last seen in Chhaava, where he portrayed Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the valiant son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The film received widespread praise, especially for Vicky’s intense transformation.

Upcoming Projects
Apart from the spy thriller, Vicky Kaushal is also starring in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic drama Love & War, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. The film has faced delays due to the recent monsoon rains in Mumbai, which caused damage to its elaborate set.

If finalized, Vicky Kaushal’s entry into the YRF Spy Universe will not only add fresh energy to the franchise but also strengthen the studio’s push to expand the universe with new characters and interconnected plots.
