Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol lock horns in brutal Alpha action sequence? Here’s what we know
Alia Bhatt Shoots For Alpha With Bobby Deol
The duo is locked in intense hand-to-hand combat, as well as weapon-based fights, for a scene choreographed by renowned action director Casey O’Neill. For the unversed, O’Neill, known for his work on blockbusters like Jawan, Top Gun: Maverick, and Jack Reacher, brings his expertise to Alpha to create a visually stunning and high-octane action sequence.
A source told the publication, “It is a no-holds-barred set-piece full of blood, gore and brutality, as Alia and Bobby go at each other with weapons as well as hand-to-hand combat. She is dressed in black, with a gun strapped to her thigh, while Bobby sports cropped hair and a salt-and-pepper beard. The makers wanted Casey to design the stunts as he is an expert in advanced stunt technology.”
Shoot To Continue For Four Days
The scene is being shot on a heavily guarded set at Film City in Goregaon to maintain secrecy, as producer Aditya Chopra is keen on keeping details under wraps. The source further explained, “This shoot will take over four days. Since it is one of the film’s most important scenes, Adi has ensured that the location is impregnable. They have about 100 guards manning it and covering all vantage points.”
Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Alia Bhatt has dabbled in action before, with a brief stint in Heart of Stone. However, Alpha will mark a significant escalation in her action-hero journey.
Sharvari To Join Alia Bhatt After Completion Of Action Sequence
Coming back to the report, it also mentioned that Sharvari, who plays Alia Bhatt's sister and fellow undercover agent, will be joining the shooting schedule after the completion of the current action sequence. The film also features Anil Kapoor as a mentor to the two female leads, expanding the YRF spy universe beyond its male-dominated lineup.
