Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Spark Buzz on Indias Got Latent Ahead of Alpha Release
On June 20, 2026, Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh joined India’s Got Latent Season 2 as special guests, debuting the episode at 7 p.m. IST on Netflix and YouTube. The duo’s cameo is a promotional push for their forthcoming action thriller Alpha, slated for global theatrical release on July 3, 2026.
Hosted by comedian Samay Raina, India’s Got Latent is a Hindi‑language talent competition that mixes singing, dancing, magic and comedy, drawing inspiration from the global Got Talent franchise and the American series Kill Tony. The second season’s premiere aired live on both Netflix and YouTube, marking the show’s return after a brief 2025 hiatus triggered by a podcaster’s contentious comments on the platform.
In the episode, Bhatt and Sharvari traded light‑hearted, off‑the‑cuff banter with Raina. Viewers noted their chemistry as “fun, fearless and completely uninhibited,” praising the quick wit and natural camaraderie that emerged. The segment was an impromptu showcase of the actresses’ confidence and playful spirit, not a scripted promotion.
The clip sparked a wave of social‑media buzz. Fans shared memes, edits, and short videos lauding the actresses for their “badass energy” and for “owning the spotlight without trying too hard.” One user wrote, “Alia and Sharvari are just too badass to do this. Love that they were cool to take the punches and throw many back at Samay!” Another posted, “Two girls owning the spotlight without trying too hard. Just Alpha energy!” A third praised them as “funny, confident and completely fearless.”
Industry observers point out that the appearance has amplified interest in Alpha. As film marketing shifts toward organic moments and viral clips, the duo’s stint on India’s Got Latent is viewed as a savvy strategy to build buzz without the rigidity of a conventional press tour.
Alpha marks Yash Raj Films’ first female‑led entry in its Spy Universe. Shiv Rawail directs the film, with Aditya Chopra as producer. Alongside Bhatt and Sharvari, the cast features Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. The soundtrack, scored by Rohansh and Abeer Pandit, features lyrics by Kumaar, Anvita Dutt, Kausar Munir, Rohansh Pandit, and Abeer Pandit, while Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara provide the film’s score. The trailer debuted earlier in 2026, and the worldwide theatrical release is set for July 3, 2026.
The India’s Got Latent cameo has already spurred substantial online engagement, and Alpha remains scheduled for a July 3, 2026 worldwide theatrical launch. No additional promotional events have been announced.
