Alia Bhatt hints at Alpha entry in War 2 with playful Instagram post: 'See you in cinema near meee'

Following the highly anticipated trailer release earlier today, anticipation for War 2, which is set for its August 14, 2025, grand release, has reached a fever pitch.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the high-octane action thriller, which stars Kiara Advani, Jr. NTR, and Hrithik Roshan, is the most recent installment in the YRF Spy Universe.

Although the trailer has already ignited social media with its promise of heart-pounding excitement, eye-catching visuals, and a surge of patriotic fervour, Alia Bhatt's sly Instagram response was the real star of the show.

Taking to her Instagram story, Alia re-shared the trailer and wrote, “Mazedaaaaaar See you on the 14th. In a cinema near meee."

Fans immediately picked up on the light-hearted tone and the explicit reference to the release date, August 14, as a possible clue, even though the post initially seemed to be a standard expression of support.

With Alia Bhatt's upcoming project Alpha, YRF's first female-led spy film, costarring Sharvari Wagh, scheduled for release on December 25, 2025, there has been a lot of conjecture for months about her making an unexpected appearance in War 2.

According to India Today, both Alia and Sharvari have reportedly filmed a covert post-credit scene for War 2, one that subtly introduces their characters and teases the narrative of Alpha. “It’s short, yes, but it has tension, mystery, and a hint of what these two women are capable of. It’s not just a cameo — it’s a setup," a source revealed.

Another insider added that the scene was shot earlier this year under extreme confidentiality, with only a select few crew members present to maintain secrecy.

While Yash Raj Films has neither confirmed nor denied the speculations, Alia’s post has only intensified the buzz. If true, this could mark a pivotal moment in expanding the YRF Spy Universe — seamlessly connecting earlier films like Tiger, Pathaan, and War with the future of the franchise through Alpha.

Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is expected to break new ground in Indian cinema, placing female intelligence agents at the centre of an elaborate espionage saga.

As the countdown to War 2 begins, audiences are watching closely — not just for the explosive action, but for the whispers of what’s to come.
