The YRF spy universe was launched back in 2012 with Salman and Katrina Kaif’s “Ek Tha Tiger”. Its success spawned two sequels, “Tiger Zinda Hai” (2017) and “Tiger 3” (2023).
Hrithik and Tiger Shroff’s “War” released in 2019, which was followed by 2023’s “Pathaan”, starring Shah Rukh and Deepika Padukone.
The franchise's most recent entry was 2025's “War 2”, featuring Hrithik and NTR Jr. "Alpha" was teased in the post credit scene of the movie.
In the scene, a mysterious man played by Bobby Deol was shown with a young girl, whom he inducts into a covert programme called “Alpha”, marking her initiation by tattooing the Greek letter alpha on her arm.
Besides "Alpha", the studio is reportedly developing two more titles in spy universe, “Pathaan 2” with Shah Rukh, and “Tiger vs Pathaan”, starring Salman and Shah Rukh.
