Bollywood’s powerhouse performer Vicky Kaushal is on a roll! While fans eagerly await his portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in Laxman Utekar’s period drama Chhaava—set to release in just a month—buzz around the actor’s next big moves is taking over the headlines.
According to reports, Aditya Chopra, head honcho of Yash Raj Films (YRF), is in advanced discussions with Vicky for not one but two blockbuster projects—the highly anticipated Dhoom 4 and a standalone cop film in YRF’s ever-expanding Spy Universe.
Vicky in YRF’s Spy Universe?
As per a report by PeepingMoon, Aditya Chopra has his eyes set on casting Vicky Kaushal as the lead in a standalone cop film within the YRF Spy Universe. A source revealed, “Aditya has grand plans for expanding the Spy Universe and aims to introduce fresh faces to carry forward the legacy established by the Khans. He wants Vicky to headline one of these standalone cop films, bringing new energy to the universe. However, plans are still in the works, with Aditya waiting to gauge the box office success of Alpha—the upcoming film introducing Alia Bhatt and Sharvari to the Spy Universe.”
Vicky and Ranbir Together in Dhoom 4?
Adding to the excitement, Aditya Chopra is reportedly considering Vicky Kaushal for the role of a cop in Dhoom 4. While Ranbir Kapoor is already confirmed to play the antagonist in the franchise, Vicky’s potential casting as the iconic cop could be a career-defining moment. The role of the cop was previously essayed by Abhishek Bachchan, and insiders suggest that Vicky’s inclusion could bring a fresh twist to the legacy.
A source added, “Dhoom is a legacy; securing a starring role in such a sought-after franchise could significantly boost one’s career. Whether Vicky commits to the role depends on his availability, as his schedule is packed until April 2026. Both Aditya and Vicky are working on aligning dates, with the collaboration expected to materialize sometime in 2026.”
The Road Ahead
While nothing has been finalized yet, Vicky Kaushal’s entry into two of YRF’s marquee projects is bound to elevate his already stellar career. Whether it’s chasing criminals in Dhoom 4 or taking on a gritty cop role in the Spy Universe, fans are undoubtedly in for a treat.
With Chhaava on the horizon and potential mega YRF collaborations in the pipeline, Vicky Kaushal continues to prove he’s unstoppable. Keep your eyes peeled—2026 might just be the year of Vicky!
