Actress Alia Bhatt on Friday dropped sun-kissed pictures of herself from Kashmir, where she is currently shooting for her upcoming spy thriller Alpha, slated to hit screens on December 25, 2025.
In one of the pictures, Alia is seen wearing a sweater and posing by the railings of a balcony, with a blurred view of snow-capped mountains in the background. Her no-makeup look and open wavy tresses perfectly capture the peaceful ambience of the region. The Jigra actress wears a white knitted cap in another picture, and gives out a warm smile.
Alpha is YRF Spy Universe’s first female-led film, which also stars Sharvari Wagh. It is directed by Shiv Rawail, known for the Netflix series The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984, and films like Fan (2016) and Dhoom 3 (2013). The film is produced by Aditya Chopra.
Sharvari, too, took to her Instagram stories and shared a picture of a serene landscape of a valley. Lush conifers, fluffy clouds and green pastures made for a picturesque sight, with people going about their daily chores and sheep grazing on the fields.
The YRF Spy Universe boasts record-breaking hits such as Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Hrithik Roshan’s War (2019) and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (2023).
Alia’s latest film Jigra, which also stars Vedang Raina, has received mixed reviews from fans and critics since its release on October 11.

Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri-starrer Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video remained marginally ahead of Jigra at the domestic box office at the end of its first week in theatres with a collection of Rs 26.95 crore nett so far.
