Alia Bhatt's Alpha Release Postponed to April 17, 2026

The highly anticipated spy thriller 'Alpha' from Yash Raj Films (YRF), starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, has been officially postponed to April 17, 2026. The release shift comes as the post-production team requires additional time to complete the visual effects (VFX) to meet the studio’s high-quality standards.

'Alpha' marks YRF's first female-led espionage thriller and is a key part of the YRF Spy Universe, which includes blockbuster hits like Pathaan and War. The film also stars Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles, with an intense showdown expected between Alia, Sharvari, and Bobby Deol’s characters.

This film is especially significant for Alia Bhatt, as it marks her first collaboration with YRF and her entry into the spy franchise. According to the studio, the decision to delay the release was driven purely by VFX timelines, ensuring that Alpha is presented in the most cinematic and visually stunning form possible. YRF emphasized that the extra time will help deliver a theatrical experience worth cherishing, reaffirming their commitment to quality and perfection.
