Bollywood director Karan Johar has praised Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's 'girl power' in the trailer of their upcoming film Alpha. The trailer, which was unveiled on Wednesday, reveals several key details about the film's story. It shows Bobby Deol as the antagonist, who kidnaps Alia Bhatt's character when she is a baby and then grooms her to become a highly skilled killing machine.
Contrary to earlier fan speculation, it is now clear that Bobby is not playing Alia's father in the film. Instead, Bobby's character appears to be on a mission to destroy India. The trailer further reveals that he will be challenged by none other than his own creation — Alia's character, Sita. She is joined by Sharvari's character on the mission, while Anil Kapoor appears to guide the duo through their dangerous journey.
The trailer also seemingly confirms Hrithik Roshan's cameo in the film, with a brief shot focusing on a pair of eyes that fans believe belong to the actor. Alpha is the latest instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, which began with Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger in 2012. The film is directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra, with Akshaye Widhani serving as co-producer. Alpha is scheduled to arrive in theatres on July 3.
