However, in that post, Karan did not tag Sharvari, who plays the second lead in the film. This led many social media users to speculate that the filmmaker had ignored Sharvari.However, it is also worth noting that Sharvari did not appear in the teaser, and her character was not introduced at that stage. Her role only gained prominence with the release of the film's trailer. Alpha trailerThe trailer of Alpha revealed several key details about the film's story. It shows Bobby Deol as the antagonist, who kidnaps Alia Bhatt's character when she is a baby and then grooms her to become a highly skilled killing machine.

The trailer further reveals that he will be challenged by none other than his own creation — Alia's character, Sita. She is joined by Sharvari's character on the mission, while Anil Kapoor appears to guide the duo through their dangerous journey.The trailer also seemingly confirms Hrithik Roshan's cameo in the film, with a brief shot focusing on a pair of eyes that fans believe belong to the actor.
