Yash Raj Films has postponed the release of Alia Bhatt's spy thriller 'Alpha' for the second time, vacating its April 17, 2026, date. The decision was made to avoid a direct box office clash with Salman Khan's upcoming war drama 'Battle of Galwan,' which is also targeting a similar release window. This marks the latest in a series of delays for 'Alpha,' initially slated for Christmas 2025, with previous postponements attributed to post-production and VFX work. A new release date for 'Alpha' will be announced after assessing the theatrical calendar.
