Did Alia Bhatt Just Confirm Her Alpha Spy Cameo In War 2? Here's Why Fans Think So
Alia Bhatt hints at possible Alpha cameo in War 2 with a cryptic Instagram post. Fans speculate after her 'See you on 14th' message goes viral. With War 2 gearing up for its grand release on August 14, the trailer of the much-anticipated YRF Spy Universe instalment dropped earlier today, promising explosive action, cinematic scale, and a dose of patriotic fervour. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, and directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is already drawing massive attention — but it was Alia Bhatt's cheeky reaction that sent fans into a frenzy. Taking to her Instagram story, Alia re-shared the War 2 trailer and wrote, 'Mazedaaaaaar 🔥🔥🔥 See you on the 14th. In a cinema near meee." While the message may seem like a routine show of support at first glance, the specific mention of August 14 and her playful tone have only intensified speculation about her cameo in the film's post-credit scene. The buzz around Alia's entry into the YRF Spy Universe has been swirling for months, particularly with the announcement of Alpha — YRF's first-ever female-led spy film, co-starring Sharvari Wagh, set to release on December 25, 2025. According to a report by India Today, both Alia and Sharvari are said to appear in a mysterious post-credit cameo in War 2 — one that subtly 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 told the outlet. Another insider revealed that the cameo was filmed under tight security earlier this year, with only a handful of crew members on set to preserve the secrecy. While Yash Raj Films has not officially confirmed Alia and Sharvari's involvement in War 2, fans are already connecting the dots — and Alia's Instagram story has only added fuel to the fire. If true, this would mark a strategic expansion of the YRF Spy Universe, tying the past (Tiger, Pathaan, War) with the future (Alpha) through seamless narrative integration. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is expected to mark a new era in Bollywood's action genre, showcasing female spies at the centre of a sprawling espionage saga. As the release of War 2 draws closer, all eyes are not just on Hrithik and Jr NTR — but also on the shadows, where the Alpha spies may quietly be preparing to make their move.
