The teaser for the upcoming YRF film Alpha, released on June 10, 2026, has generated significant online buzz. The teaser prominently features actors Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol, with Bhatt playing a young woman trained by Deol's character, her mentor and father figure. She is set to embark on her first mission on her 18th birthday.
Immediately after the teaser's release, numerous fans pointed out a scene set in a restaurant, drawing parallels to a similar sequence in the 1990 French action-thriller, La Femme Nikita. In both films, a protagonist is taken to a restaurant where she receives instructions and weapons for an upcoming mission. This perceived similarity has led to speculation that Alpha may be a remake or has borrowed heavily from the French movie.
As of now, the makers of Alpha have not issued any official statement regarding the comparisons to La Femme Nikita. However, the film has been described in an official press release as a "true-blue popcorn entertainer" and a "never-been-done-before action film fronted by women in cinema," highlighting a unique "Alpha attitude."
