The teaser of ‘Alpha’ gave viewers a glimpse into the high-octane world of espionage, with Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol appearing in intense action sequences. However, the story credit attributed to Uday Chopra, which was spotted in the teaser description, quickly became a talking point, overshadowing the film’s promotional launch.Social media was quick to respond after finding out. Many users expressed their genuine shock when they saw his name associated with one of Yash Raj Films’ biggest upcoming releases.One puzzled user asked, “Uday Chopra story????” While another added, “Story by – Uday Chopra (Debut Writer). Damn, this movie sounds like a disaster to me.”
A section of fans viewed the development more positively, and speculated whether the credit signaled a quiet creative comeback for the actor. Comment I read, “Dick: The #Alpha story “credits” have been given to Uday Chopra. Talent runs in the genes, so is this a return for Uday from behind the scenes? #AliaBhatt #Sharafari.”
One comment also took aim at elements in the teaser itself, adding: “Has anyone already brought Hamza back? Instead, we are stuck watching a so-called “spy” whose father speaks Haryanvi while she somehow speaks fluent Hindi. Furthermore, they try to portray a 33 year old woman as an 18 year old #alpha girl. Writer: Uday Chopra.”
