Alia Bhatt is all praise for Bobby Deol's remarkable comeback in Bollywood. After a long hiatus, the actor has won immense love from audiences, especially following his powerful villainous role in Animal. Bobby is once again creating buzz with his intense anti-hero performance in the much-awaited Alpha, where he shares a gripping face-off with Alia. His commanding screen presence and strong performances continue to make him one of the most talked-about stars in the industry.
When asked about working with Bobby Deol, she said, "I call Bobby Deol a gentle giant because he is so overpowering on screen as a persona but has the most gentle soul. When we were doing our scenes together, I realised that he could do something that’s so unassumingly brilliant that even he was oblivious to his craft. That’s how good he is! It didn’t feel like he was ever trying to act. He is a natural."
Alia Bhatt recalled an incident from the sets of Alpha. "The director will come and say, Bobby, sir, what a shot! And he would say I have no idea what I did and then Shiv would go.. no sir, it was outstanding!"
She continued, "And Bobby sir ka reaction will be 'Haan achha? I don’t know what I did. Ok then. Do u need to give another take?' He used to say this because he doesn't know how to do the same thing again. It's that brilliant. He is so in the moment."
Alia Bhatt had a creatively enriching experience working with Bobby, who plays her mentor in the movie. "I had the best time working with him because he is like a little student in this school of cinema, even today after so many years, and I’m just like him - a student who is just happy and grateful to be on sets, shooting."
The actress shared,"And aren’t we are all enjoying this new Bobby Deol! He is performing performance. I hear he is fabulous in Bandar, and I have to see it soon. He was outstanding in Animal. He was so good in Bads! And I think he has done something very special in Alpha."

About The Upcoming Movie Alpha
Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail, is set to release only in cinemas worldwide from July 3, 2026. It also stars Sharvari and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles.
The recently released Alpha trailer offered the most detailed look yet at Alia Bhatt’s character and her journey in the film. It opens with Bobby Deol’s character, Fateh, naming a baby Sita while she remains protected inside a glass enclosure. The trailer then traces her transformation from a young girl into a highly skilled assassin capable of eliminating targets with ruthless precision.
Alpha also puts a fresh spin on a familiar mythological tale. Through a voiceover, Alia’s character recounts the story of a monster abducting a princess, but with a powerful twist. She declares that Ram will not come to rescue her from Lanka; instead, she will destroy it herself.
The trailer ends on an exciting note with the return of Major Kabir Dhaliwal from War and War 2, as a glimpse of Hrithik Roshan’s iconic green eyes hints at his appearance in the movie.
