Production
Development
Yash Raj Films officially announced the project on 4 October 2024, positioning it as a flagship entry in their YRF Spy Universe.[1] Shiv Rawail, known for the Netflix series The Railway Men, was recruited by producer Aditya Chopra to helm the film as director, marking Rawail's first collaboration with YRF.[2] Chopra emphasized the film's role in expanding the spyverse with "homegrown talent and fresh narratives."[3]
Casting
Alia Bhatt and Sharvari were cast as the main female lead in July 2023.[4] Bobby Deol joined the film in March 2024 as the main antagonist.[5] Anil Kapoor was cast in July 2024.[6] Hrithik Roshan was confirmed to make a cameo appearance in August 2024, reprising his role as Agent Kabir Dhaliwal from War (2019).[7] In February 2025, Ashutosh Rana confirmed he would reprise his role from War and Pathaan (2023).[8] Dibyendu Bhattacharya joined the cast in March 2025.[9]
Filming
Principal photography commenced on 5 July 2024,[10] with sequences shot in Mumbai, Kashmir, Poland, and Scotland. The Kashmir leg, filmed in Sonamarg and Pahalgam, concluded in September 2024 after delays due to adverse weather.[11] A high-octane fight sequence between Sharvari and Bobby Deol was filmed in Kashmir, described by Sharvari as "physically demanding but exhilarating."[12] Roshan joined the production in November 2024 for his cameo shoot in Mumbai.[13]
Music
The film's soundtrack was composed by Sachin-Jigar and the film score was composed by Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara.
Release
Alpha is scheduled for a theatrical release on 25 December 2025, coinciding with Christmas, with dubbed versions in Tamil and Telugu.[1] Its release slot was secured after the postponement of Bhatt's other project, Love and War, to sometime in 2026.[14]
