In a thrilling announcement that is set to stir excitement among cinema lovers, Yash Raj Films has revealed that its highly anticipated action entertainer, ‘Alpha,’ will be making its grand entrance into theaters on December 25, 2025. This film holds the unique distinction of being the first female-led installment within the acclaimed YRF Spy Universe, showcasing Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt in the lead role alongside Sharvari Wagh, a rapidly rising talent nurtured by YRF itself.
Directed by the promising Shiv Rawail, ‘Alpha’ promises to deliver a cinematic experience like no other, combining breathtaking visuals with heart-stopping action sequences. Within this adrenaline-fueled narrative, both Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh transform into elite super agents, bringing to life a tale of intense drama enriched with unpredictable twists and turns. As film producer Aditya Chopra spearheads this venture, every detail is meticulously honed to guarantee a spectacle worthy of the ultimate big-screen experience.
Set to be the quintessential holiday entertainment for audiences, the release of ‘Alpha’ is strategically timed for Christmas Day, aiming to become a festive favorite. Cinema-goers can expect a richly immersive experience, packed with stunning artistry and edge-of-the-seat escapades that are hallmarks of YRF’s blockbusters.
Alia Bhatt’s involvement in ‘Alpha’ comes as a confirmation of industry speculations, which Yash Raj Films CEO Akshaye Widhani humorously refers to as the “worst kept secret.” He further elaborates, “[Alia] is headlining a Spy Universe film, and she’s thrilled to start hitting the sets later this year. Our excitement about nurturing this intellectual property in the studio is boundless.”
The YRF Spy Universe itself is a powerhouse within Indian cinema, containing box office titans such as Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and the upcoming Tiger 3. With films featuring superstars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Deepika Padukone, this universe has evolved into an entity both financially formidable and culturally significant.

Amid the vibrant setting of Kashmir, the production has commenced its second schedule from August 26th, further magnifying the enchanting allure of ‘Alpha.’ Sharvari Wagh shares her excitement, stating, “I can’t wait to be on the sets of Alpha again, especially in the breathtaking locale of Kashmir! This schedule promises to be exhilarating, bringing the Alpha team together after a break. I am ready to dive back into action!”
Reflecting on the serendipity of this opportunity early in her career, Sharvari continues, “Being on a film set fills me with energy and the desire to absorb and excel. Working alongside film industry megastars in such a prestigious project is nothing short of a blessing.”
The lineage of the YRF Spy Universe began with 2012’s Ek Tha Tiger, featuring Salman Khan, later followed by blockbuster successes like Tiger Zinda Hai and War. Pathaan added another streak of success with Shah Rukh Khan at the forefront, while Tiger 3, once again starring Salman Khan, is eagerly awaited. The succession will proceed with War 2, of which Hrithik Roshan, NTR Jr., and Kiara Advani will be a part, under Ayan Mukerji’s directorial vision.
Aditya Chopra’s unwavering commitment to redefining cinematic narratives has set Yash Raj Films apart as a beacon of visionary storytelling and innovative filmmaking. With ‘Alpha,’ YRF not only expands the Spyverse narrative but also underscores the studio’s tradition of dynamic female empowerment stories on a grand scale.
As the countdown to Christmas 2025 begins, anticipation around ‘Alpha’ continues to build, promising a landmark film that will resonate with audiences and critics alike. True to its name, ‘Alpha’ is poised to lead and leave an indelible mark on the Spyverse canon, ensuring that this festive season will end on a high note for cinema aficionados everywhere.
