Fans were shocked when reports confirmed that Alia Bhatt’s Alpha has been postponed to 17 April 2026. The delay, according to production sources, is due to extended VFX work. However, the announcement has triggered a fresh wave of trolling for both Alia and YRF’s struggling Spy Universe.
Many online users mocked Alia, joking that she might win the Filmfare Award for “Best Actress Without a Release” in 2025. The jokes stem from her recent Jigra win, which some believe was undeserved. Others argue that after War 2 turned into a massive failure, the makers are now in damage control mode, taking extra time to avoid another disaster.
Some have accused Alia of being responsible for the delay, claiming her involvement caused repeated setbacks and forced Aditya Chopra to personally monitor the project. But Alia’s supporters insist that the Spy Universe’s troubles began with War 2, not her. They believe she is being unfairly targeted and that Alpha is getting delayed only because the makers want to ensure a quality product.
Fans of Alia say the film should take as long as needed to get things right. A rushed release after the War 2 fiasco could ruin the Spyverse further. For now, all eyes are on Alpha to see if it can revive YRF’s spy franchise and help Alia silence her trollers with a strong performance.
