Shortly after the teaser for the highly anticipated action-thriller “Alpha” dropped, Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to cheer for his “Dear Zindagi” co-star Alia Bhatt and the film’s creative team.
As the biggest face of the Yash Raj Films Spy Universe himself, the superstar re-shared the raw, high-octane teaser on his Instagram Story. King Khan heaped praises on Alia's fierce new action avatar, while dropping special callouts for Bobby Deol and director Shiv Rawail ahead of the film's theatrical release.
In his special message, Shah Rukh applauded Alia's journey from winning hearts with her performances to taking on physically demanding action roles. Referring to her expanding "skill set" and action-packed transformation, he wrote, "Well done Alia, in years from breaking hearts and now to breaking bones your skill set keeps expanding."
Shah Rukh reserved special praise for Bobby Deol as well. Calling the actor "so good" in negative roles, the superstar gave him a warm shoutout and wished the entire team the very best.
"Lord Bobby....you are so good when you are bad!!! Big hug. And all the best to Shiv and his team," he wrote.
The one-minute-and-55-second teaser offers the first glimpse into the origin story of Bhatt's character Sita, introducing audiences to her journey long before she became a trained spy.

It opens on her 18th birthday, where she is seen sharing what appears to be a quiet moment with her father, played by Bobby Deol, at a restaurant. However, the celebration doesn't last long, as he assigns her a high-risk mission inside the hotel. Soon after, audiences are introduced to "Alpha," a top-secret programme designed to train India's next generation of elite soldiers.
The initiative puts recruits through intense physical and mental challenges, preparing them for dangerous missions in the world of espionage. The teaser then shifts gears into high-octane action, with Bhatt showcasing a never-seen-before avatar. From hand-to-hand combat sequences to high-risk operations, Sita is seen taking on multiple opponents and navigating dangerous situations with confidence.
Directed by Shiv Rawail, “Alpha” stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role, with Sharvari playing a pivotal part in the story. The film marks the first female-led instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, which includes blockbuster titles such as “Ek Tha Tiger”, “Tiger Zinda Hai”, “War”, “Pathaan”, “Tiger 3” and “War 2”. The film has witnessed multiple release date changes during production. Initially planned for a 2025 release, “Alpha” was later shifted to April before Yash Raj Films announced July 10 as its release date.
The makers have now advanced the release by a week, with “Alpha” set to arrive in cinemas worldwide on July 3.
