Bobby Deol’s Role in YRF’s Upcoming Film Alpha

Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) upcoming film Alpha has created major buzz, especially because Bobby Deol will be playing the antagonist. This was hinted at in the War 2 post-credit scene, where Bobby Deol is shown tattooing a mysterious agency logo (with “Alpha” written on it) on a young girl’s hand. He also tells her something significant — and that girl is most likely Alia Bhatt’s character.
From this scene, it becomes clear that Bobby Deol’s character trains Alia Bhatt’s character in Alpha — but later turns against her. In other words, he transforms from being her mentor to becoming her biggest enemy.
Bobby Deol, who recently received immense praise for his powerful negative role in Animal, is once again set to impress audiences with his intense antagonist performance in Alpha.
