Yash Raj Films Pushes Alpha to April 17, 2026

The studio cites extended VFX work to protect the film’s theatrical quality.

Overview

  • The Alia BhattSharvari action thriller was previously slated for December 25, 2025.
  • YRF says complex VFX and stunt-heavy sequences require additional post-production time.
  • Trade sources characterize the delay as a quality-first decision rather than a reaction to competing releases.
  • Alpha remains positioned within the YRF Spy Universe with Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in key roles.
  • Moving off the Christmas corridor shifts the film’s rollout to a new April launch in India.
