'Alpha' Trailer: Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Team Up Against Bobby Deol in YRF's Spy Thriller

Following a teaser that looked into Alia Bhatt’s character’s origin story, Yash Raj Films released the official trailer of Alpha on Wednesday, June 17. The trailer gives us our first look at Sharvari's character in the film, following criticism for her absence in the teaser, and also introduces Anil Kapoor’s character into the story.

The trailer opens with Bobby Deol naming Alia Bhatt's character Sita after her mother, Janaki. Through Sita's voice-over, the narrative draws on the tale of a princess who was abducted by a demon, only to rewrite her own destiny by fighting back instead of waiting to be rescued.

The trailer establishes that as a toddler, Sita was kidnapped by Fateh, played by Bobby Deol, who trained her under the organisation Alpha. The trailer then reveals a twist, where she eventually realises he is using her and working against India, prompting her to turn against him.

Sharvari's character makes a colourful, energetic entrance, followed by a fight sequence with Alia's Sita. The trailer later reveals that the two join forces against Bobby Deol's Fateh. According to the production house, details on Sharvari's character arc are left unrevealed because she plays a crucial role in the film.

Anil Kapoor’s character is introduced in the trailer, who is hinted to be linked to the Alpha program. The trailer is heavy on action, featuring intense chase scenes, gunfire, and combat.

The trailer ends on a cliffhanger at a monastery, where a mysterious figure clad in white who is supposed to help Alia and Sharvari's characters in their mission is seated before them. The final shot reveals his green eyes, hinting the return of Hrithik Roshan's character Kabir from the YRF Spy Universe's War franchise.

Directed by Shiv Rawail, who previously helmed the Netflix series The Railway Men, and produced by Aditya Chopra, Alpha is the seventh installment in the YRF Spy Universe.

The film was earlier scheduled for a December 25, 2025, theatrical release but was postponed. According to the studio, the delay was due to the additional time required for the film’s visual effects work. It is now arriving in theatres on July 3.
