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.

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.

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.
