The ‘Alpha’ teaser dropped on June 10. Alia Bhatt got her assassin origin. Bobby Deol played the man who built her. But the internet had one immediate complaint. Sharvari, the film’s co-lead, was nowhere in the teaser. That absence became the loudest talking point of the day.
Sharvari is not in the teaser
‘Alpha’ has been marketed as a two-hero film from the start. Sharvari features alongside Alia Bhatt as a lead in the film. But she was missing from the teaser entirely. The 1 minute 58 second clip focused on Alia Bhatt’s character and her origin as an assassin trained under Bobby Deol’s character. Sharvari did not appear in a single frame.

For fans who have followed the film, this was a surprise. Sharvari has been part of every promotional announcement. Her name appears in the official teaser title card on YouTube. Yet the teaser itself gave her no screen time.

Not sure what’s more tragic, Sharvari being invisible in a 2-minute trailer, or we’re getting Britishers as our next-gen soldiers😭 https://t.co/Qjnfqf6GD6

I rarely comment on Bollywood movies let alone trailers
But I watched this because of Sharvari, she’s supposed to be the second lead in this film and she’s not even in this teaser for 1 second 😭😭😭 https://t.co/21V6VQK7SU

Audience reactions started pouring in on social media, especially on Reddit. One Reddit user wrote, “Where’s Sharvari? Is she just not in the teaser lmao what the hell.”
The reaction reflected a wider frustration. ‘Alpha’ has been positioned as a female-led film with two women at the centre. Keeping one of them out of the first teaser confused a section of the audience.
Other reactions were a mix on the teaser itself. One Redditor wrote, “Considering ke log is picture ki itni band baja rahe the release se pehle, teaser utna bhi bura nai hai.” Another user compared the film to the 2010 Angelina Jolie action film ‘Salt’, writing, “Bro this is literally knock off of Salt.” A fourth user added, “Average. Only because of Alia I may watch it.”
Sharvari is not a supporting actor in this film. She plays what YRF has described as the youngest spy of the YRF Spy Universe. She was alongside Alia Bhatt in every press release and announcement.
Sharvari entered ‘Alpha’ after a strong 2024 run that included the horror comedy ‘Munjya’, the action drama ‘Vedaa’, and ‘Maharaj’ on Netflix.
