YRF releases Alpha BTS video: Alia Bhatt and Sharvari perform their own action sequences

Yash Raj Films has released a thrilling behind-the-scenes video from Alpha, giving audiences an exclusive look at the intense preparation, rigorous training, and jaw-dropping action that have gone into creating the first female-led film in the YRF Spy Universe. The newly unveiled footage showcases Alia Bhatt and Sharvari stepping far outside their comfort zones as they tackle some of the film’s most challenging action sequences themselves.

The making video captures the actresses in action, performing physically demanding stunts, handling weapons, and executing combat sequences that promise to elevate Alpha into one of the most ambitious action films of the year.

Alia Bhatt’s Stunning Action Transformation

Director Shiv Rawail revealed the enormous effort that went into preparing the cast for the film’s high-octane action set pieces. Praising Alia’s commitment to the role, he said, “Alia has put in much of training into just this sequence. Hopefully the audience are going to get to see a very new Alia Bhatt.”

He further added, “When you see the film and you see the action sequences, one thing is that they've done all of this themselves. They are performing those guns at that break-neck rocket speed.”

The footage suggests that audiences will witness a never-seen-before avatar of Alia as she embraces the action genre with remarkable intensity and confidence.

Explosions, Gunfights and Extreme Stunts

The making video also highlights the scale and complexity of the film’s action design. Action Director Craig Macrae teased the adrenaline-fueled experience awaiting audiences, saying, “Rotations on wires, explosions, gunfights, knife fights. It's going to be a great ride.”

From aerial stunt work and close-combat fight sequences to large-scale action set pieces, Alpha appears to be pushing the boundaries of action filmmaking within the YRF Spy Universe.

Alia and Sharvari Bring Unmatched Dedication

One of the biggest highlights of the behind-the-scenes footage is the commitment shown by both Alia and Sharvari. Rather than relying heavily on stunt doubles, the actresses immersed themselves in extensive training to perform many of the demanding sequences themselves, bringing authenticity and realism to their performances.

Their dedication reflects the film’s ambition to present two powerful female action heroes capable of holding their own in the celebrated spy franchise.

Countdown Begins for Alpha

Produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Shiv Rawail of The Railway Men fame, Alpha is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. With excitement continuing to build following the release of this explosive making video, audiences can look forward to an action-packed cinematic experience when the film arrives in cinemas worldwide on July 3.
