Alpha is produced by Aditya Chopra, and is a part of the YRF spy-universe. It is directed by Shiv Rawail, who is known for the streaming series The Railway Men, which was also produced by YRF. It is the first female-led film from the spy-universe, and also stars Alia Bhatt and Anil Kapoor. The film’s title was unveiled in a special video by the makers. In the title reveal video, Alia Bhatt is heard saying, “Greek alphabet ka sabse pehla akshar. Aur humare program ka motive, sabse pehle, sabse tez, sabse veer. Dhyaan se dekho toh har sheher mein ek jungle hai. Aur jungle mein hamesha Raj karega Alpha (The 1st letter of Greek alphabet, and the motive of our program. The first, the fastest of all, and the bravest of all. Look carefully, you will find a jungle in each city. And the Alpha will always rule the jungle)”. The video dismisses the notion that only men can be alphas. In the film, both Alia and Sharvari play super-agents, and it looks like Aditya Chopra is presenting them as the Alpha girls of the pack in spy-universe. Created by producer Aditya Chopra, the YRF spy includes blockbusters like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan and Tiger 3.
