Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s much-awaited actioner, Alpha has a new release date. The next film in the YRF Spy Universe, Alpha will be released in theatres on July 10, 2026, the makers announced on Monday (March 9, 2026).
To make the announcement, the makers shared a poster, teasing Alia’s look in the film, where she is shown all bruised and cut. Helmed by The Railway Men director Shiv Rawail, the film also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles.
The film has been delayed multiple times before. Initially planned for a Christmas 2025 release, Alpha was postponed to April 17, 2026, with the makers reasoning that the VFX work on it was taking longer than expected.
The YRF Spy Universe was launched back in 2012 with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Ek Tha Tiger. Its success spawned two sequels, Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Tiger 3 (2023).
Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s War released in 2019, which was followed by 2023’s Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. The last film in the spy universe was War 2, which came out last year and starred Hrithik, Jr. NTR and Kiara Advani in the lead.
