Mumbai, Dec. 27 -- Moviegoers who were hoping to witness a high-voltage box office clash between Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan might not be able to, at least not in April 2026.

According to Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh, they have decided to postpone the release of Alia Bhatt's much-awaited spy thriller 'Alpha,' to avoid a clash with Salman Khan's upcoming war drama 'Battle of Galwan.'

'Alpha' was originally scheduled to release on April 17, 2026. However, the makers have opted to move the film to a later date to prioritise a smoother theatrical window.
