Alpha Postponed Again to Avoid Clash
Alia Bhatt's movie Alpha has been delayed again.
The film's makers wanted to make the visual effects better and also didn't want it to come out the same time as Salman Khan's movie Battle of Galwan.
The new date for Alpha hasn't been decided yet.
Battle of Galwan is about a real fight between India and China that happened in 2020.
The first delay was also because of VFX work.
The makers want Alpha to be a great movie experience for everyone.
Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh, has been postponed for the second time.
The film was initially set to release on December 25, 2023, then April 17, 2026, and now the date is undecided.
The latest delay is to avoid a box office clash with Salman Khan's Battle of Galwan, also set for April 17, 2026.
The first delay was due to the need for additional VFX improvements.
YRF aims to present Alpha in its best cinematic form, ensuring a memorable theatrical experience.
