The release date of the Yash Raj Films action entertainer **Alpha**, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari Wagh, and Bobby Deol, has been postponed to **April 17, 2026** due to extended visual effects (VFX) work requiring additional time to complete[1][3][5][7]. Originally announced for a grand release on December 25, 2025, Alpha is a female-led spy thriller set within the YRF Spy Universe, marking a first for the franchise to focus on women super-agents. The film is directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra[2][6][8]. It features Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as lead protagonists, along with key roles for Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor. The delay is attributed specifically to the significant post-production VFX work needed to enhance the film's high-octane action sequences and overall visual spectacle[1][3]. Alpha is highly anticipated for bringing a new dimension to the YRF Spy Universe, promising intense thrills and powerful performances with a fresh female-centric narrative within the spy genre[2][6].
