Overview
- Mid-day reports that Bobby Deol has joined Ali Abbas Zafar’s yet-untitled Yash Raj Films project led by Ahaan Panday and Sharvari.
- Sources say Deol’s part is an authoritative, grey-shaded role rather than a straightforward antagonist, shaping his dynamic with the hero.
- The director and producer Aditya Chopra reportedly designed a larger-than-life character with personal motivations to avoid repeating Deol’s recent all-black portrayals.
- Pre-production reportedly includes a UK recce, with filming targeted to begin in the first quarter of 2026 if plans hold.
- One trade source quoted by Mid-day says Deol came on board only a week ago, and subsequent outlets reiterated the casting and character details.
