Alpha Release Postponed Again To Avoid Clash With Salman Khan's Battle Of Galwan Read On

The highly anticipated Yash Raj Films spy thriller Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh, has been postponed for the second time. The latest delay has surprised fans, as this time the reason involves Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

Initially scheduled for April 17, 2026, the film's release has been pushed forward to avoid clashing with Salman Khan's war drama Battle of Galwan. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed in a tweet that the makers decided to shift the release to ensure both films get a smooth box-office run.

Second Postponement for Alpha

This marks the second postponement for Alpha, which was earlier supposed to hit theaters on Christmas 2025. The initial delay was due to extensive post-production work, including heavy visual effects that required extra time. While no new release date has been officially announced, industry sources suggest the film will likely release in the second half of 2026.
