Alia Bhatt is starring in a first ever female spy thriller titled Alpha. The film directed by Shiv Rawail was earlier slated for a grand X Mas release.
However, the makers now decided to backoff and release the film next year. The makers announced the new release date couple of minutes back. YRF shared in a statement, “Alpha is an extremely special film for us and we want to present the film in its most cinematic self. We have realised that the VFX will take a little longer than what we had initially assumed. We want to leave no stone unturned to make Alpha into a theatrical experience for everyone to cherish. Thus, we will now release the film on April 17, 2026.”
They continued “Alpha team wants to put out the best film for audiences to enjoy. It is a fair move by YRF. This was brewing as the VFX team was under a lot of pressure with regards to timelines which was seeming unrealistic. So, the push of release date is due to this only and not because of the current cluttered release window from Avatar to the end of January 2026. There is significant work pending and that’s why Alpha is releasing in April and not February,”
The film also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in important roles.
