Alia Bhatt Alpha: Alia Calls 'Alpha' Her First Action Film, Faces Trolls

Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt is making headlines with her upcoming film, Alpha, which marks her first female-led project within Yash Raj Films' (YRF) spy universe

Alia Bhatt described Alpha as her "first action film," igniting controversy on social media as users pointed out her previous roles in action films like Zirga and Heart of Stone

While attending the Gucci Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show in Milan, Alia Bhatt mentioned the significance of Alpha as a major project, sparking curiosity about her character's connection with audiences

Social media users reacted strongly to Alia's statement, with some sarcastically suggesting she had erased past films like Shaandar, Kalank, Sadak 2, and Zirga from her career

Supporters of Alia argued that since Zirga only included a few action scenes, Alpha could be considered her first full-fledged action film, emphasizing the film's complete focus on the action genre

Directed by Shiv Rawal, Alpha features Alia Bhatt alongside Sharvari Wagh and Bobby Deol, adding to the star-studded lineup of YRF's spy universe, which already includes Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan

In addition to Alpha, Alia Bhatt is working on another project, Love and War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal

The film Alpha is anticipated to showcase powerful action sequences and is a significant addition to Alia Bhatt's filmography, aiming to strengthen her presence in the action genre
