Yash Raj Films just released the official trailer for Alpha today, giving audiences a first look at Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in action. Directed by Shiv Rawail, the footage introduces Bhatt as Sita, a highly trained assassin, and Sharvari as her fierce ally. The upcoming film pushes the traditionally male-focused YRF Spy Universe into new territory, delivering its seventh installment as a female-centric anti-hero origin story.
Fans immediately started breaking down the plot, which places Bobby Deol in the role of Fateh, a rogue former spy and Sita’s ruthless childhood mentor who turns into her primary target. The narrative firmly establishes the stakes for the highly anticipated spy thriller. Anil Kapoor also makes an appearance, holding a mysterious tie to the covert program that trained them. But the internet truly erupted during the final moments of the preview when Hrithik Roshan stepped into frame, reprising his highly popular role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal from the War franchise.
Yash Raj Films locked in a July 3, 2026 theatrical debut for the project. Audiences are already counting down to the official summer premiere. However, the promotional drop did not happen without immediate controversy. Social media users quickly dissected the visual style, pointing out heavy similarities between the Alpha promotional posters and the sci-fi epic Dune. Online spectators also drew direct comparisons between Sita’s 18th-birthday assassination scene and the classic 1990 action film La Femme Nikita, sparking intense debates about visual plagiarism across fan forums.
