Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has ignited discussions on social media after describing her upcoming film Alpha as her first action film. During her appearance at the Gucci Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show in Milan, where she attended as the brand’s global ambassador, Alia spoke to the media about the project, expressing excitement as well as a hint of nervousness about her role.
Her remarks have drawn criticism from some netizens, who pointed out that Alia has previously performed action sequences in films like Raazi and Gangubai Kathiawadi, as well as in the Hollywood film Heart of Stone. Critics argue that given her prior experience, labeling Alpha as her first action film is misleading.
Fans, however, have defended her comments, noting that while earlier films included action scenes, they were primarily story-driven or spy thrillers with limited action. Since Alpha is reported to be entirely action-centric, they believe Alia’s characterization of it as her first full-fledged action project is appropriate. The debate continues on social media, reflecting divided opinions on the matter.
