‘Amazing to see an Indian action film featuring two women’: Bobby Deol on Alpha and going toe-to-toe with Alia Bhatt

Bobby feels it is quite cool that a film featuring two girls doing action has been made in India and hopes that people will give Alpha a lot of love.

Bobby says, “I’m very fond of Ranbir and Alia, and I always wanted to work with both of them. With Ranbir, I did Animal, and now with Alia, I have now done Alpha. I had the best time working with both of them.

“It is quite amazing that we are making an action film in India, like Alpha, featuring two girls doing action on screen. I like Alpha a lot because it is new, it is refreshing, and a new visual for the audience to watch in theatres.”

Bobby was too impressed watching Alia Bhatt prepare herself to play a girl who could look convincing while doing brutal action sequences.

“Alia is one of the most hardworking and sincere actors I’ve worked with. She comes to the set completely prepared, deeply invested in every scene.

“She has never done this kind of action before, and I was amazed seeing how prepared she was for the shoot. I could see she was giving her all because action is hard to pull off, and she went for it,” says Bobby.

He adds, “Adi and the director Shiv Rawail had a clear vision that action should look real and raw. So, it was a tough shoot for both of us, and I’m glad we have a film that everyone should sit back, relax, and hopefully enjoy thoroughly.”

Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail (of the global hit series The Railway Men fame), also stars Anil Kapoor in a pivotal role.

Alpha is set to release in theatres on July 10, 2026 worldwide.
