Rumours surrounding leaked photos from Yash Raj Films' upcoming spy thriller Alpha have taken social media by storm. The film, which stars Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and Bobby Deol, has been generating massive buzz ever since a few alleged stills surfaced online claiming to reveal scenes from the movie. However, the authenticity of the images remains unclear.

According to reports, an X account shared blurry visuals said to be leaked pictures from Alpha, teasing what appeared to be a dramatic climax sequence involving the three actors. The post described the visuals as part of an "Empire Climax Sequence" featuring "Assassin Vs A.I." in the YRF Spy Universe film. Soon after, clearer versions of the same pictures were uploaded online, with the user claiming they had been enhanced using AI tools like Google Gemini.

The images quickly went viral among Bollywood fans, sparking debate over whether they were genuine behind-the-scenes photographs or AI-generated creations. Some social media users believed the visuals looked convincing enough to be actual stills from the film, while others pointed out inconsistencies and possible signs of digital manipulation. Neither Yash Raj Films nor the actors involved have officially commented on the viral pictures so far.

Real or Fake? Fans question authenticity

Alpha is one of the most-awaited additions to the YRF Spy Universe and is directed by Shiv Rawail, best known for The Railway Men. The action entertainer reportedly features Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as powerful agents, while Bobby Deol is expected to play the antagonist. Earlier reports had already hinted at the film's large-scale action sequences and stylised spy drama.

The film has also remained in headlines due to multiple alleged leaks and rumours surrounding its production. Recently, pictures of Alia Bhatt and Sharvari from the sets of comedian Samay Raina's India's Got Latent Season 2 also surfaced online, reportedly linked to the movie's promotions.

While the latest viral photos have intensified excitement around Alpha, there is currently no official confirmation proving whether the images are authentic or AI-generated. For now, fans will have to wait for the makers to unveil the film's official look and teaser. Alpha is currently scheduled to release in theatres on July 10, 2026.
