Yash Raj Films reschedules release of ‘Alpha’ to April 2026
Yash Raj Films has announced that its upcoming action entertainer ‘Alpha’, starring Alia Bhatt, will now release on 17th April 2026.
The studio stated that additional time is required for post-production work, particularly on visual effects, to ensure the film meets its intended scale and quality.
A YRF spokesperson says, “’Alpha’ is an extremely special film for us and we want to present the film in its most cinematic self. We have realised that the VFX will take a little longer than what we had initially assumed. We want to leave no stone unturned to make ‘Alpha’ into a theatrical experience for everyone to cherish. Thus, we will now release the film on April 17, 2026.”
The film, part of YRF’s established Spy Universe, features Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in leading roles, alongside Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in pivotal parts. ‘Alpha’ marks Bhatt’s first collaboration with Yash Raj Films and introduces her in a full-fledged action role.

According to the studio, ‘Alpha’ represents the first female-led installment in the YRF Spy Universe and aims to deliver an action experience not previously seen in Indian cinema.
Another top trade source says, “’Alpha’ team wants to put out the best film for audiences to enjoy. It is a fair move by YRF. This was brewing as the VFX team was under a lot of pressure with regards to timelines which was seeming unrealistic. So, the push of release date is due to this only and not because of the current cluttered release window from Avatar to the end of January 2026. There is significant work pending and that’s why ‘Alpha’ is releasing in April and not February.”
The film is directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner.
