Overview
- Brief rushes from Alpha were shown in Jeddah during a career tribute to Bhatt at the Red Sea International Film Festival.
- Bhatt said leading the franchise’s first woman-fronted action movie is a market risk given past performance of male-led entries.
- Alpha stars Alia Bhatt with Sharvari and Bobby Deol, is directed by Shiv Rawail, and is produced by Aditya Chopra.
- YRF confirmed the global date shift from a planned late-2025 window to April 17, 2026, due to heavier-than-expected post-production and VFX.
- The studio’s international push includes a three-picture UK production deal from 2026, praised by the BFI and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as Bhatt also received the Golden Globe Horizon award at Red Sea.
