Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor also feature in supporting roles, but their contributions are overshadowed by the weak script.

Box Office and Impact
Alpha's release on 03 July 2026 did not generate significant buzz, and early reports suggest poor ticket sales. The film's reliance on Pakistan-bashing themes has been criticized as outdated and ineffective in modern cinema.
