Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh have been cast in the high-octane big budget YRF Spy Universe film, Alpha, has lady spies. The story has Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor in other major roles. While it looked like WAR being made with ladies in leading roles, YRF showcased that they are bringing something fresh and not rehashing their old ideas in the trailer. 

Bobby Deol is ousted from Indian Army looking at the dangers of his Alpha Program and he builds it with women instead. Using Ravana and Seetha angle from mythology, where some stories state that Ravana is the one who buried her in land and then abducted her unaware of this fact, the makers seem to have constructed this story. 

Main Hoon Na had such an ousted soldier turning into a terrorist but here Bobby Deol is producing soldiers or super assassins who can complete his mission. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari team up to fight against Alpha and end the program. These scenes bring to mind Black Widow and Thunderbolts to mind. 

Still, the trailer is promising and better from previous VFX films like Tiger 3 and WAR 2. As the movie needs to click for YRF Spy Universe to survive, the makers seem to have taken extra care to deliver better VFX than previous versions. But they have revealed Hrithik Roshan cameo in the trailer itself. 

Alia Bhatt is good in action and Sharvari is also in form. But the trailer oversells the idea of super soldiers and tends more towards superhero genre still from spy thriller action. We have to wait and see how popcorn flavoured big action set pieces in this YRF world work after Dhurandhar kind of grounded spy action rocked the nation.
