The release of Alpha's trailer has transformed both actors into the faces of a moment that feels bigger than a film promotion. The YRF Spy Universe's first female-led action spectacle places them at the centre of a fun, popcorn entertainer with explosions, combat sequences and high-stakes, presenting them not as romantic interests or supporting players, but as the protagonists driving the action. Early reactions from the trailer praised them to be an unstoppable force against Bobby Deol's villain. But the internet's fasc...
