VFX Delays Push 'Alpha' Release to April 2026, Makers Aim for Cinematic Spectacle

In a move to ensure the best possible cinematic experience, the release of the upcoming action film 'Alpha' has been pushed back from December 2025 to April 2026. The film, which stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the lead roles, is part of the YRF spy universe and was initially slated to hit theaters on December 25, 2025.

However, the makers have now revealed that the VFX work on the film is taking longer than anticipated, and they want to leave no stone unturned in presenting 'Alpha' in its most visually captivating form. A YRF spokesperson stated that the VFX team needs more time to deliver the film's ambitious action sequences and visual effects, and the December deadline was proving too tight.

'Alpha' is described as an "extremely special film" for the production house, and they are determined to offer audiences a truly cinematic experience. The film will see Alia Bhatt and Sharvari go head-to-head against Bobby Deol's character in a brutal showdown, with Anil Kapoor also playing a pivotal role.

The decision to postpone the release is a strategic one, as the makers want to ensure that 'Alpha' lives up to its full potential and delivers the best possible experience for moviegoers. The new release date of April 17, 2026, will give the VFX team the necessary time to perfect the film's visual elements and present a polished, high-quality action thriller.
