Reports of a possible rift between Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol on the sets of Alpha have begun circulating online. It has sparked curiosity among fans. While there has been no official confirmation from
either actor or the makers, the update suggests that creative differences may have led to tension.
As per the report of 123 Telugu, tension has developed between Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol on the sets. Disagreements are because of Alia’s habit of offering creative inputs during scenes, including those involving Bobby. The senior actor is said to have objected to these suggestions at a point that led to tension on set. The situation has escalated to the extent that producer Aditya Chopra had to step in to ensure the shoot was completed smoothly.
Alpha To Release Directly On OTT?
As the buzz surrounding the film continues to grow, new reports claim the film might not have a theatrical release at all. A source close to the development informed Deccan Chronicle, “Aditya Chopra had hoped that the female-hero genre would get a boost with Mardaani, so that Alpha could be projected as Alia’s Shero film.” The source added, “But with Mardaani 3 underperforming and the Spy Universe taking a beating with War 2, Alpha is now a suspended project at Yashraj.” According to the report, Alpha is likely to get a direct OTT release, but Alia Bhatt is ‘protesting’ against this. There is no confirmation on this yet.
Last year, Alia Bhatt attended the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, where she spoke about her upcoming film. “Alpha is the first female-led action film from the YRF universe, so that’s also a risk, because you’ve not historically seen that perform in the same way that the other male-led films have performed,” Alia Bhatt said, as quoted by Deadline.
About the film
The movie, which was set to release on Christmas 2025, has now been pushed to next year. Yash Raj Films’ highly awaited action entertainer will now release on April 17, 2026. The company confirmed this while revealing that the VFX of Alpha needs more time to present the film in its visually best shape to audiences. Speaking about the date shift, a YRF spokesperson shared, “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 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.”
Fans got a glimpse of Alpha in War 2’s post-credit scene. In the sequence, Bobby Deol made a surprise appearance, marking his official entry into the Spy Universe. The scene showed him stamping the logo of an agency on a young girl’s hand. When the girl asked what it meant, Bobby’s character answered, “Alpha.” He explained that Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and their program’s motto: “The first, the fastest, the strongest.”
This intriguing interaction had fuelled speculation online that the girl might be a younger version of Alia Bhatt’s character in Alpha. Bobby Deol is expected to play the main antagonist in the film, who possibly trains Alia’s character before turning into her nemesis. Fans believe this twist adds a fascinating mentor-turned-enemy dynamic to the upcoming story.
