Along with this, he again will be reprising the role of Colonel Luthra in Bollywood’s Spy Universe. “All the movies in the franchise have been hits, and Luthra has found a foothold for himself. It really is a privilege to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Hrithik Roshan, while the entry of Alia Bhatt and Sharvari is equally a phenomenal feat.”
