About Alpha teaser
The one-minute-and-fifty-five-second teaser offers the first glimpse into the origin story of Alia Bhatt`s character, Sita, introducing audiences to her journey long before she became a trained spy.
It opens on her 18th birthday, where her father, played by Bobby Deol, assigns her a high-risk mission. Soon after, audiences are introduced to Alpha, a top-secret programme designed to train India`s next generation of elite soldiers. The initiative puts recruits through intense physical and mental challenges, preparing them for dangerous missions in the world of espionage.
The teaser then shifts gears into high-octane action, with Alia Bhatt showcasing a never-seen-before avatar. From hand-to-hand combat sequences to high-risk operations, Sita is seen taking on multiple opponents.
