  • The film is slated to open in theatres on April 17, 2026, with industry schedules shifting as Alpha moves off the same date, according to reports.
  • Khan plays Indian Army officer Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, with visuals foregrounding rugged Ladakh and Leh locations.
  • The project credits include director Apoorva Lakhia and producer Salma Khan for Salman Khan Films, with a background score by Himesh Reshammiya and vocals by Stebin Ben.
