One of the most anticipated films of the year, Alpha, has hit theaters today, generating a lot of buzz, especially about its surprise cameos. While the trailer featured Hrithik Roshan, it’s not just him who makes an appearance. Dia Mirza has also joined the cast, and her role was cleverly kept a secret until now.
Mirza’s character appears at a key moment in the film, playing a significant part in moving the story along. She has about 10 minutes of screen time and is credited as a ‘Guest Appearance’ in the film’s opening credits.
Alpha stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in leading roles, with Anil Kapoor supporting them. Bobby Deol takes on the role of the villain. Directed by Shiv Rawail, known for the acclaimed Netflix series The Railway Men, this action-packed film is produced by Yash Raj Films, headed by Aditya Chopra.
As the seventh installment in the YRF Spy Universe, Alpha continues the success of this cinematic world that started with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012, followed by Tiger Zinda Hai in 2017. Those films featured Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. The sequence continued with War in 2019, directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. The universe expanded further with Pathaan in 2023, which included a cameo from Salman Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan’s character from Pathaan also had a special appearance in Tiger 3, and the last film before Alpha was War 2, set to release in 2025 and featuring Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani.
The film has been announced with a wide release, set to show in nearly 9,000 screenings across 2,750 theaters, ensuring that audiences have ample opportunity to catch this exciting new installment in the YRF Spy Universe.
