Alia Bhatt, one of Bollywood’s most versatile and bankable stars, continues to dominate the industry with her exceptional performances and diverse upcoming projects. Known for seamlessly transitioning between intense dramas and light-hearted entertainers, Alia has established herself as a powerhouse performer.

From her breakthrough role in “Student of the Year” to critically acclaimed films like “Raazi” and “Gangubai Kathiawadi”, she has consistently proven herself as an actress capable of carrying a film on her shoulders.

Fresh off the success of her international debut in “Heart of Stone” alongside Gal Gadot, and a stellar performance in “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani” and “Jigra”, Alia Bhatt is gearing up for an even more exciting year ahead with upcoming movies. With an enviable slate of films that promise to showcase her versatility, she is poised to continue her winning streak.

Alia Bhatt’s upcoming movies that we can’t wait for:

Over the years, the Aditya Chopra-curated YRF Spy Universe has become the most celebrated cinematic universe in Indian cinema, featuring some of the biggest heroes. This female-led spy film introduces Alia Bhatt and Sharvari to the popular Spy Universe created by YRF.

Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra, “Alpha” is a high-octane thriller set to hit theaters on December 25, 2025, during the Christmas holiday. The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

In an exclusive update, Pinkvilla previously revealed that Bobby Deol will play the antagonist in the action thriller. Reports also suggest that Anil Kapoor is part of the movie.

Love & War:

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has pulled off a casting coup by bringing together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal for his next directorial, “Love & War”. The source revealed that Alia began filming for “Love & War” in Mumbai on November 19.

Reports indicate that the actress started her schedule with solo scenes, while sequences featuring her alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal began by the end of November 2024.

Alia has committed significant time to the project, dedicating herself exclusively to it until November 2025. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film is shaping up to be an epic tale blending romance, drama, and action. The filmmaker plans to complete production by October 2025, with a grand Eid 2026 release in mind.

For those unaware, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal portray characters from the Indian Armed Forces in “Love & War”.

An Untitled Love Story:

The source previously reported that Bhatt is considering several romantic scripts and has shown particular interest in one. She plans to both star in and produce the film, which is described as a pure love story. Production is expected to begin in the latter part of 2025 after she completes her current film, “Love and War”.

The insider also hinted that the movie could be directed by a filmmaker who delivered a box-office hit grossing over Rs 200 crore in 2022. Discussions between Alia and the director are reportedly progressing well.

However, since the project is still a year away from starting, Alia might pivot to another script if a more compelling opportunity arises. For now, though, the love story seems locked in as her 2026 release.

Jee Le Zara:

Ever since Farhan Akhtar announced “Jee Le Zaraa” in August 2021, starring Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Katrina Kaif, the film has generated a lot of buzz. However, the movie never took off due to date issues, which led the entire cast to move on to other commitments.

The source reported that the film was postponed due to scheduling conflicts, not abandoned, as it remains a passion project for everyone involved, including the producers, writers, and director. It is said that the script is now finalized, and efforts are underway to revive the project.

“Jee Le Zaraa” holds a special place for Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby, as they envision it as the third installment in their trilogy of slice-of-life friendship films, following the iconic “Dil Chahta Hai” and “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”.

During a visit to India, PeeCee reportedly discussed the project with Farhan and stayed in touch with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. The trio is actively working on aligning their schedules, with hopes of bringing the much-anticipated film back on track.

Dinesh Vijan’s supernatural thriller Chamunda:

The source reported that Alia Bhatt has been in discussions with Maddock Films about a psychological supernatural thriller. Reports suggest that she has frequently explored potential collaborations with producer Dinesh Vijan and is now close to finalizing the project.

The thriller, which has piqued Alia Bhatt’s interest, is likely to be her next big-screen venture following “Love and War”. Talks are progressing, with formal agreements expected by the first quarter of 2025.

The film, tentatively titled “Chamunda”, is closely tied to its storyline, which is still under development. Sources revealed that Alia is excited about collaborating with Maddock on this project, which could potentially launch a new cinematic universe.

This universe would run parallel to Maddock’s established horror-comedy franchise, which includes “Stree”, “Bhediya”, “Munjya”, and “Thamma”.
