# Alpha Spy Thriller: Theatrical Glory or OTT Surprise? The Truth Revealed! **Imagine this:** Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, two powerhouse actresses, unleashing never-before-seen action in Yash Raj Films' (YRF) Spy Universe—will it explode on the big screen or quietly drop on your streaming app?[3][1] Fans have been buzzing since the announcement of *Alpha*, Hindi cinema's first female-led spy thriller. Starring **Alia Bhatt** and **Sharvari** alongside Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol, this high-octane flick was initially eyed for December 25, 2025, then shifted to April 17, 2026, due to extensive VFX work for a "visually best shape."[2][3][4] Rumors exploded online, fueled by YRF's recent setbacks like *Mardaani 3*, suggesting a direct-to-OTT release to skip theaters.[2] But hold on—reliable sources are shutting down the speculation! Pinkvilla's exclusive fact-check confirms *Alpha* is locked for a **2026 theatrical release**, likely in Q3, with the team wrapping the final shoot schedule at YRF Studios right now. Alia, Sharvari, Anil, and Bobby are all on set, gearing up for intense action sequences designed exclusively for the big screen.[1][2] India Today echoes this, stating the film is "made for theaters" to deliver a cinema-first experience.[3]
