On Saturday, Karan Johar came to the film's defence in a post on his Instagram Stories. It read, “When footfalls are a challenge, ALPHA takes a solid start! It emphasises many things… the audience is way above online negativity and they are the true warriors… the stardom and theatrical pull and unquestionable talent of Alia Bhatt and the impact of a big-screen spectacle is undebatable. YRF has continued to build franchises and create theatrical tentpole experiences that deserve our applause, not toxicity! So please relax and celebrate that cinemas are breathing! Go watch ALPHA and stop doom-scrolling.” Alpha is directed by Shiv Rawail. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Sharvari in important roles. Hrithik Roshan makes a special appearance in Alpha.
