The release date of Yash Raj Films' highly anticipated spy thriller, Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, has been pushed back to avoid a direct clash with Salman Khan's war drama, Battle of Galwan. In a recent tweet, trade analyst Taran Adarsh revealed that the makers have opted to postpone the release, which was initially scheduled for April 17, 2026. Alpha, part of the YRF Spy Universe, has faced delays in its release. The film was initially set to hit theaters on Christmas 2025 but was pushed back due to extensive visual effects work. The latest postponement means that the film's new release date will be announced after a thorough assessment of the theatrical release calendar. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, following films like Tiger and War. The film also stars Bobby Deol and features Alia Bhatt as the lead in the first female-led spy thriller from YRF. The makers are expected to announce a new release date for Alpha in the second half of 2026, giving fans something to look forward to.
