Fans were not happy after Yash Raj Films unveiled the teaser of their much-anticipated film Alpha. Why? Because many were upset over Sharvari’s absence from the teaser. Only Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol featured prominently in the promotional video. Amid the backlash, a YouTuber has taken to social media to offer a possible explanation for why Sharvari was missing from the teaser.
Why was Sharvari missing from the Alpha teaser?
In an Instagram video, Mohit Anand explained how Bobby Deol’s character calls himself a ‘wolf’ while training a young Alia Bhatt’s character to become an assassin in the teaser. He then pointed to a scene from War 2 in which Hrithik Roshan’s character, Kabir, meets Ruhi, the adoptive daughter he has been training for two years. In the film, it is shown that Ruhi has saved Kabir’s name as ‘Wolf’ on her phone.
Mohit pointed out that Bobby Deol’s character appears to be training Alia’s character to become an assassin in Alpha, while in War 2, much like how Hrithik’s Kabir trains Ruhi for her safety. Based on this connection, he speculated that Sharvari’s character could be linked to that storyline, which may be why she was intentionally kept out of the Alpha teaser.
