no to Sharva In the ‘Alpha’ trailer
While the action-packed preview has left Alia’s fans wanting more, co-star Sharvari’s fans have been heartened by her absence from the clip. Soon after the teaser dropped, the comments section was flooded with reactions from viewers, who noticed that Sharvari was not featured in the footage, despite being prominently featured on the cover of the trailer. Taking to their handle, several fans pointed out that the actor was only featured in the thumbnail image and the accompanying poster, but he didn’t even make a wink and miss a moment in the teaser itself.“The only asset showing #Sharva is the thumbnail, it’s basically a teaser poster, but it’s not there,” one fan wrote.Another disappointed viewer commented, “I knew the sharvari was going to be rejected, but it didn’t even have an eye.”
Fans react to Sharvari’s absence
Questions about the marketing strategy quickly surfaced, with another user asking, “What the hell is the Sharvari Teaser Out Now Poster and not the actual Teaser.”Others echoed similar sentiments, stating that they were hoping for at least a brief cameo from the actor. “I was waiting for Sharvari but there is not a single shot of her in the whole teaser,” wrote one fan. Another said: “115 seconds of teasing and literally NO PICTURE of Sharvari?”The omission has also raised quite a few eyebrows and speculation. While some speculated that the actor was snubbed, others saw his absence as a possible surprise in the film. While this clip seemed to give fans a detailed look at Alia’s character, some believed that the upcoming teaser would reveal Sharvari’s role in the film.Suggesting that the teaser could set the tone for where the actor will be set in the film, one fan commented, “A teaser should showcase your leads. Leaving Sharva out completely is a huge missed opportunity to build hype. I really hope this isn’t a sign of things to come and that he isn’t sidelined in his movie. He deserves as much as the lead!” wrote the fan.Another said, “#Sharva is missing in the teaser. I hope she gets enough screen time in the movie.”Directed by Shiv Rawail, ‘Alpha’ is Alia’s first action film and one of the most awaited projects of YRF’s Spy Universe. The film has had several release date changes during production. Initially slated for a 2025 release, the film was later pushed to April, before Yash Raj Films announced July 10 as the release date. The makers have now brought forward the release by a week, ‘Alpha’ will hit the theaters worldwide on July 3rd.
