Yash Raj Films has postponed the release of Alia Bhatt's upcoming spy thriller, Alpha, for the second time. The film, initially slated for Christmas 2025 and later April 17, 2026, will now have its release date reassessed to avoid a direct box office clash with Salman Khan's war drama, Battle of Galwan. This decision, reportedly made out of respect for Khan, allows both films to receive individual attention. Alpha, also starring Sharvari and Bobby Deol, is part of the YRF Spy Universe and was first glimpsed in War 2's post-credit scene.
