So there will be Dharma's Jigra, then the SLB movie and then the Spy-Universe with The Huntress (with a cameo by ...which Khan?) for Alia (imdb tells me: "Set in the YRF Spy Universe, a RAW agent who becomes a huntress to protect the prime minister from a notorious terrorist group leader who plans to end the world.")

Suhana's King could come earlier...maybe shooting starting in January (if her performance in The Archies is satisfying). And her role certainly would be a completely different character.

Is it your gut feeling that makes you think about an action movie with Suhana failing or do you have other reasons? It may depend on the time SRK is on screen, too. And of course on the story...

I have no clue which Khan but one of the male actors has to "train" the new spy. I'm guessing the trainer will be Salman? It could also be Hrithik.

The SLB movie is temporarily shelved, mainly because they don't have the musical funding needed and once they find their Tansen only then can it be made. The Sharvari/Alia movie is right after Jigra.

It's not about the movies clashing, but the traditional Spyverse audience is mostly young 20s men who generally do not believe as intensely in female-centric violence. Alia's name will carry the urban audience. Suhana does not have that pull - most people who like her are teens and they aren't the ones shelling tickets. They'll watch an OTT movie though, but the question is how big of an audience?

I have no hopes for Archies in terms of acting chops, and there's not much else for people to go by. SRK has taken his entire schedule off (presumably to coach Suhana during this film), but that will piss off his fans.

Nowadays the BO is hard - I understand Hrithik during his debut helming such a film but for Suhana to do so is a bit absurd. Also SRK making a franchise for his daughter is something Amitabh Bachchan had dreamed of doing, but since ABCL didn't do well, he wasn't in a position to do so.

You're right...it doesn't sound promising or even exciting - at the moment - especially with a nepotism debate not dying down.

Thanks again for the infos.

Next year, at this time, things may be a bit clearer...Time will tell...
