Reports Say Bobby Deol Joins Ali Abbas Zafar’s YRF Film in a Grey, Authoritative Role

A UK location scout is planned ahead of an early-2026 shoot.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite a Mid-Day exclusive reporting that Bobby Deol has come on board Ali Abbas Zafar’s yet-untitled YRF project led by Ahaan Panday with Sharvari.
  • Sources say Deol’s character holds authority and carries grey shades, serving as an adversary rather than a conventional villain.
  • Ali Abbas Zafar and Aditya Chopra reportedly shaped a larger-than-life part to avoid repeating Deol’s recent all-black antagonists, with casting said to have been finalized only a week ago.
  • Production plans include a December recce in England and filming in early 2026 across London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
  • The casting remains unannounced by the makers, and reports position the film as the fifth collaboration between Zafar and Chopra under Yash Raj Films.
