Karan Johar declares Alia Bhatt, Sharvari's 'Alpha' "blockbuster", says "This rock and roll actioner screams GIRLPOWER"
Mumbai, June 18
Filmmaker Karan Johar is full of praise for Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's upcoming spy action thriller 'Alpha' trailer, already declaring the film a "blockbuster."
In an Instagram story, Karan reshared the trailer of 'Alpha' and hailed the power-packed performances by the leading ladies, along with their co-stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol.
"This rock and roll actioner screams GIRLPOWER in the best way. @allaabhatt and @sharvari are on a mission to Block a Buster! OG energy with @anilskapoor and @iambobbydeol! Shiv Rawall makes his bada screen debut with a BANG! Pave the way @yrf! You are the mega creators of this mazedaar universe!!!" Karan wrote.
The brand new trailer of 'Alpha' has received high applause from many, including fellow actors who dropped major shoutouts for Alia and Sharvari's portrayals.
The recently unveiled trailer of 'Alpha' offers a deeper look into the film's story and introduces fans to the journey of a young assassin in the YRF Spy Universe.
The two-minute-and-thirty-four-second film opens with Bobby Deol's character naming Alia Bhatt's character Sita after her mother, Janaki. Through Sita's voiceover, the narrative draws on the tale of a princess who was abducted by a demon, only to rewrite her own destiny by fighting back instead of waiting to be rescued.
As the trailer progresses, it shifts into high-octane action with Alia leading several combat sequences and chase scenes.
Sharvari makes a striking entry as a woman Sita initially struggles to trust, but the two gradually join forces as they take on a dangerous mission. The preview hints at a growing partnership between the characters as they confront a powerful enemy.
Anil Kapoor also appears in a major role, adding another layer to the story, while Bobby Deol is seen as the film's chief antagonist. The trailer builds towards what appears to be a grim climax before ending on a cliffhanger with the reveal of a mysterious man whose identity has been deliberately kept under wraps.
Fans speculate that the character may be portrayed by Hrithik Roshan.
However, the trailer offers only a fleeting glimpse of the enigmatic figure, revealing nothing more than his striking green eyes in the final shot.
Directed by Shiv Rawail, the film marks the first female-led instalment in the YRF Spy Universe.
It is set to hit theatres on July 3.

Karan Johar calling it a "blockbuster" before release? That's just typical KJo hype machine. 😅 But I have to admit, the trailer looks promising. Alia has proven her acting chops time and again, and action sequences seem well-choreographed. However, I hope the film has a strong story beyond just the "girl power" angle. Let's not make it just a marketing gimmick, yaar.
As someone who grew up watching Bond films, I'm genuinely excited about the YRF Spy Universe expanding. The Indian film industry is doing something unique here - creating a connected spy universe with local flavor. Alia and Sharvari bringing the action? Count me in. Those green eyes at the end - Hrithik? Or someone else? The mystery is already working! 🕵️
Okay but can we talk about how amazing the trailer music is?! 🎵 Also, Sharvari's entry scene - wow! She's come a long way from her debut. And Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol as the seasoned actors? Perfect casting. This is going to be the ultimate summer blockbuster! 👏
I appreciate the ambition, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Trailers can be deceiving - remember how 'Thugs of Hindostan' had an amazing trailer? 🤔 That said, the YRF Spy Universe has been consistent so far (War, Pathaan, Tiger series). Adding female leads to the mix is a smart move. Let's hope the execution matches the hype.
