Overview
- Yash Raj Films announced the new theatrical date of April 17, 2026, moving Alpha from its planned December 25, 2025 release.
- The company said the shift is required to give VFX teams additional time so the film can be presented in its intended cinematic form.
- Trade sources report the delay stems from production timelines rather than an effort to avoid a crowded late-December to January release corridor.
- Alpha features Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the leads with Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles, directed by Shiv Rawail.
- The film is part of the YRF Spy Universe and is positioned as the franchise’s first large-scale female-led action entry as well as Bhatt’s first YRF collaboration.
