YRF Pushes Alpha to April 2026 Over VFX Timeline

The studio cites extended visual-effects work to meet its quality bar, a decision trade sources describe as timeline-driven rather than release-window strategy.

Overview

  • Alpha will now release on April 17, 2026, moving from the previously announced December 25, 2025 date.
  • Yash Raj Films said the postponement allows more time to complete VFX so the film can be presented in its most cinematic form.
  • Trade sources reported the shift stems from unrealistic post-production timelines and not the crowded December–January slate.
  • The film headlines Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, features Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol, and is directed by Shiv Rawail as a female-led entry in the YRF Spy Universe.
  • The change frees the Christmas 2025 window, and the Indian Express reports Dharma’s Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri will release in that slot.
