Alia Bhatt, currently a global ambassador for a luxury brand, has stirred the internet with her latest revelation.
On Tuesday, September 23, the actress attended the Gucci Spring/Summer 2026 showcase at Milan Fashion Week. During the event, the 32-year-old confirmed her entry into Yash Raj Films’ spy universe. She revealed that she will play the lead in the upcoming movie Alpha.
Speaking about the project, Alia Bhatt said, “Wow, it’s pretty close. That’s a big one for me because it’s my first venture into action, and I’m really curious to see how the audience connects with that.”
The actress arrived at the event in a striking look. She wore a chevron-patterned coat over a lace slip dress, grabbing attention from fashion watchers.
Her remark about action, however, quickly spread online. Social media users reminded her of previous projects, including Jigra and Heart of Stone. Some argued that those films already placed her in the action space.
One user wrote, “It was an action film, Alia. And both tanked badly.” Another added, “Alia has deleted Shaandar, Sadak, Kalank, Jigra, and Heart of Stone from her filmography””
Another comment read, “She wants to forget it like all of the audience did.” A user quipped, “Shhh, we never talk about Sadak, Kalank, Heart of Stone, or Jigra.”
Still, some defended her words. They explained that Jigra was not a pure action film.”“If one or two action sequences are enough to qualify as an action movie, then almost every old Indian love story is action,” a fan wrote. Another said, “Alpha would probably be the first full action film.”
Alia Bhatt clarified that her upcoming project is her debut as the lead in a full-fledged action film. She expressed her excitement for the movie, which is set to release on December 25, 2025. She hinted that the film will present her in a “fierce new avatar.”
Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha also stars Sharvari and Bobby Deol. The film will be the seventh entry in YRF’s Spy Universe, which has already showcased successful characters played by Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan.
The YRF Spy Universe has become one of Bollywood’s most ambitious franchises. Films like Ek Tha Tiger, War, and Pathaan have seen massive box-office success. With Alpha, Alia Bhatt is set to become the first female lead of the franchise.
The announcement has raised expectations among fans and industry experts. Supporters believe her entry will add a new dimension to the series. Critics, however, remain cautious, pointing to her mixed record in action-oriented roles.
Regardless of the debate, Alia Bhatt maintains a strong presence in both cinema and fashion. Her appearance at Milan Fashion Week, combined with the Alpha reveal, shows her global appeal and ongoing influence.
As the release date approaches, audiences will wait to see how she performs in her first full-scale action film. For now, her remark has created significant buzz, proving once again how closely netizens follow her every move.
