The trailer of Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, has been released, offering a high-octane glimpse into the latest installment of Yash Raj Films’ expanding spy universe. The film, directed by Shiv Rawail, introduces a darker, action-driven narrative that reimagines mythological undertones while continuing the franchise’s established espionage themes. The trailer has sparked renewed excitement after the earlier teaser received a mixed response online.
The story follows Alia’s character, who is initially introduced as “Sita,” a child raised by Fateh, played by Bobby Deol. The trailer reveals how she is trained from a young age to become a lethal assassin, shaped by rigorous conditioning and ruthless missions. Over time, the narrative hints at her transformation into “Alpha,” as she begins questioning her upbringing and the ideology imposed on her.
A central element of the trailer is its reinterpretation of the Ramayana-inspired metaphor, where Sita is not waiting for rescue but instead chooses to destroy her own “Lanka.” Through voiceover narration, Alia’s character reflects on her journey, suggesting a reversal of traditional rescue narratives. The visuals emphasize intense combat sequences, stylized action choreography, and high-stakes espionage missions that define her rebellion against Fateh.

Sharvari’s character makes a significant impact in the trailer, initially appearing as an adversary before transitioning into an ally. Brief but striking action sequences between Alia and Sharvari showcase close-quarters combat and coordination, suggesting a dynamic partnership at the core of the film. Veteran actor Anil Kapoor also appears in a guiding role, adding depth to the spy network framework within the storyline.
The trailer concludes with a brief yet impactful appearance of Hrithik Roshan, whose green-eyed reveal hints at his return as Major Kabir Dhaliwal from the War franchise. His cameo ties Alpha more firmly into the broader spy universe that includes films like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, Pathaan, and War. The moment has generated strong audience curiosity, despite his limited screen presence in the trailer.
Alpha has faced multiple release date changes due to extensive visual effects work, according to the production team, which stated the delay was necessary to ensure a more cinematic experience. Initially scheduled for earlier releases, the film is now positioned as a major theatrical event in 2026. As the seventh film in the YRF spy franchise, expectations remain high for its large-scale action and interconnected storytelling.
