New update regarding Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh’s film ‘Alpha’

New Delhi. New news has come out regarding Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh’s much awaited film ‘Alpha’. This film had received an offer of Rs 215 crore from Netflix for its digital premiere, which was rejected by Yash Raj Films. The company spokesperson has clarified that the film will be released only in theaters and they do not put their films directly on streaming platforms.

Discussion and story of the film

‘Alpha’ is a spy thriller, which was announced for 2024, and there has been huge excitement for it ever since. The film belongs to the women-centric action genre and will see the on-screen pairing of Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh for the first time. Yash Raj Films said in a statement, “We want to do something special through ‘Alpha’. We, along with Alia and veteran actor Sharvari, will make this film entertaining for the audience.”

Digital premiere proposal and release date

Yash Raj Films has stated that they have always given importance to the cinematic experience, which is why the proposal for a digital premiere was rejected. ‘Alpha’ will now be seen straight on the big screen, giving audiences an opportunity to enjoy the action thriller. The film’s release was earlier scheduled for 25 December 2025, but has now been pushed to 17 April 2026. The reason for this change is the need to do more work on VFX and to avoid clash with Salman Khan’s ‘Battle of Galwan’.

Other movies of Alia Bhatt

Apart from this, Alia Bhatt is also interested in other upcoming projects. She has also worked in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love and War’ with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. However, the shooting of ‘Alpha’ has not started yet, and fans are eagerly waiting for its release date and other updates.

Yash Raj Films’ decision

This move by Yash Raj Films shows that they give theatrical release priority for their big budget films. The pairing of Alia and Sharvari, the spy-thriller genre of the film, and the cinematic experience can form the basis of making this film the most talked about release of 2026. Currently, there is no new information regarding the release date and promotion of the film, but the curiosity of the audience is at its peak.
