The trailer for ‘Alpha’ is finally here. Yash Raj Films dropped the much awaited trailer on Wednesday, and it has already set off a wave of excitement among fans. The film stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in lead roles, marking the first time the YRF Spy Universe has been led by women. Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor also feature in key roles.
How the trailer opens
Trailer begins with Alia Bhatt’s character delivering sharp dialogue. She says, “Sita aaj Lanka khud jalane aayi hai” followed by “Shuru karo agnee pariksha.” These lines hint at a fierce face-off between her character and Bobby Deol, who plays a former mentor turned enemy.
Alia plays a character named Sita. The trailer frames her as someone trained since childhood to become a killer. She is not shown as a typical spy. Instead, she is introduced as a trained assassin with a personal mission that unfolds through the story.

Action, music and style
The trailer runs for over two minutes. It is packed with hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, and high-speed chase sequences. The background score features the track “Jamaican (Bam Bam)” by Hugel and SOLTO. The song adds pace to the action scenes and has already caught attention online.
Sharvari’s role is kept mostly under wraps. The makers have not revealed much about her character’s backstory. However, trailer shows her teaming up with Alia at certain points and hinting at complex bond between two women. Glimpses of Anil Kapoor also appear through the trailer, though his exact role remains unclear for now.
The Hrithik Roshan twist
The biggest moment comes at the very end. Hrithik Roshan makes a surprise cameo appearance. Reports suggest he plays Agent Kabir, a character tied to the larger YRF Spy Universe. This cameo links ‘Alpha’ directly to earlier films in the franchise, including “War” and “Pathaan.”
