Groundbreaking move
First female-led project in YRF's Spy Universe
This film marks the first time a female-led project is being introduced in the spy universe.
"While Katrina Kaif's Zoya and Deepika Padukone's Rubai from the Tiger and Pathaan franchises, respectively, have been loved by audiences, this marks the first female-led project. So, Aditya is keen to make it a cool action entertainer."
An insider revealed that Chopra is keen to make it a cool action entertainer that sees Bhatt and Wagh's characters as "mean killing machines."

For this film, Chopra has assembled a team of experts including Korean stunt coordinator Se-yeong Oh, Franz Spillhaus, and Indian action director Sunil Rodrigues.
The goal is to ensure each action sequence stands out.
Reports suggest that Bhatt will be seen showcasing her martial arts skills in one scene and engaging in fierce combat with Bobby Deol in another. Notably, Deol has been roped in as the antagonist.
