A Deadly Mentor-Protégé Battle

Alia’s character is seen in a fierce new avatar, delivering powerful lines like, “Sita aaj Lanka khud jalane aayi hai” (Sita has come to burn Lanka herself) . This reimagining of the classic mythology places the onus of the battle squarely on the shoulders of the female protagonist, who is determined to destroy her creator’s empire .
Sharvari’s Mysterious Role and Action Extravaganza
While Alia Bhatt’s character is central to the plot, the makers have deliberately kept Sharvari Wagh’s role under wraps, hinting at a crucial part in the story .

The trailer is packed with slick visuals, hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, and explosive set pieces . The action is amplified by a powerful background score featuring the global chartbuster track ‘Jamaican Bam Bam’ by DJ HUGEL, adding an energetic and contemporary feel to the spectacle .
A Universe of Cameos
Adding to the excitement, the trailer confirms a special appearance by Hrithik Roshan, who reprises his role as Agent Kabir from the ‘War’ franchise . While only a brief glimpse of his character is shown, the cameo strengthens the interconnected nature of the YRF Spy Universe, linking ‘Alpha’ to past blockbusters like Pathaan and War . The film also stars Anil Kapoor, whose character appears to be connected to the mysterious ‘Alpha Program’ .
‘Alpha’ marks a new chapter for the YRF Spy Universe, shifting the spotlight to a gritty, nocturnal world of assassins and espionage . With its star-studded cast, adrenaline-pumping action, and a fresh take on the spy genre, the film is poised to be one of the biggest releases of the year.
