The makers of Alpha unveiled a brand-new poster featuring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor, but instead of building excitement, it has sparked a fresh debate online. A section of social media users has compared the poster's desert backdrop, sepia-toned visuals and overall aesthetic to Dune, with many calling the similarities hard to ignore.
Backlash After Teaser Comparisons
The backlash comes shortly after Alpha's teaser faced comparisons to films like La Femme Nikita and American Sniper. While there are no official allegations against the film, the internet is once again debating originality, inspiration and whether Alpha is struggling to establish its own visual identity.
Fan Reactions
Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with many pointing out the striking resemblance to Denis Villeneuve's Dune. Some users created side-by-side comparisons, highlighting similar color palettes and framing. Others defended the film, arguing that desert settings are common in cinema.
What's Next for Alpha?
As the debate continues, the makers have yet to respond to the criticism. The film, which also stars Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor, is expected to release later this year. Whether the controversy will impact its box office performance remains to be seen.
