The underperformance of *War 2* has undoubtedly shaken YRF’s ambitious roadmap to position the YRF Spy Universe as the biggest franchise in Indian cinema. Yet, Aditya Chopra is not letting this setback slow him down. Instead, he is re-strategizing with renewed focus.
The next chapter, *Alpha*, led by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, and also starring Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor, is already shaping up to be crucial in reviving momentum for the franchise. Sources have confirmed that Hrithik Roshan will make a special appearance as Agent Kabir in the film.

However, the *War 2* debacle has impacted the expected effect of Hrithik’s cameo in *Alpha*. Therefore, sources reveal that Aditya Chopra has reached out to Shah Rukh Khan, requesting him to make a cameo appearance in *Alpha*.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “At the moment, Pathaan is the most talked-about character of the Spy Universe. Aditya Chopra has personally called Shah Rukh Khan to make a cameo in *Alpha*. He has designed a special part for him, which will lead to *Pathaan 2*. Shah Rukh Khan has asked for some time to think it over, as he has already allotted bulk dates for *King* at the moment.”
Aditya Chopra has requested 3 to 4 shooting days in early November, as *Alpha* is gearing up for a Christmas 2025 release.
“Shah Rukh Khan had blocked the entire November for the shoot of *King*, but at Adi’s request, he is trying to reschedule his commitments to make his cameo in *Alpha* a reality. He will confirm his presence in a week to 10 days. If a proper cameo isn’t possible, he might just shoot for an end-credit sequence of *Alpha*,” the source added.
Adi is also attempting to secure a cameo for Salman Khan as Tiger in *Alpha*, but the script is yet to be finalized.
“He will approach Salman only when the cameo’s impact is on par with Tiger’s appearance in *Pathaan*,” the insider revealed.
*Alpha* is directed by Shiv Ravail and is set for a Christmas 2025 release.
