At the end of the Alpha trailer, we see Alia and Sharvari in an action sequence, with a person seated on the floor in the hall, covered in a white robe. The surprise appearance of this figure teases Hrithik Roshan as Major Kabir Dhaliwal from War, shown only through his intense eyes.

How fans reacted

Several fans also talked about the action scenes. One said, “Not the routine YRF SPY Universe movie. the best trailer of the spy universe so far, the visuals looks good, vfx looks good and Alia Bhatt showing again why she is the best in the business. sharvari is adding more fun and HRITHIK????? DAMN.” A fan commented, “Alpha trailer got me seated. Alia, Bobby & Hrithik absolutely delivered. The action blocks are next level and that core intro hits different. A fresh vibe from the spy universe and I’m here for it. Really leveled up the color palette from their past movies.”

Hrithik's Major Kabir Dhaliwal is an important character in the YRF Spy Universe. He made his debut in War (2019) and reprised his role as the lead in War 2 (2025).

Alpha is the seventh instalment in the highly anticipated YRF Spy Universe. Shiv Rawail has directed the film from a screenplay by Soumil Shukla and Shridhar Raghavan. It is produced by Aditya Chopra and Akshaye Widhani. The dialogues are penned by Ishita Moitra. The film is scheduled to release worldwide on July 3.
