Vikram Bhatt Questions the Criticism Against Alia Bhatt
Addressing the trolling, Vikram said, “What’s she getting trolled for? I don’t even know why they’re trolling her. Poor thing! They’re just going on and on.”
Alia recently found herself at the centre of online discussions following her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. Social media users debated everything from her red carpet presence to the promotional material of Alpha. The teaser, in particular, sparked mixed reactions online.
However, Vikram believes the criticism directed at the actress is unwarranted.
“Alpha’s Teaser Was Perfectly Good”
The filmmaker stated that he had no issues with the teaser and felt the response had become unnecessarily harsh. “I believe Alpha’s teaser was trolled very badly. I found it perfectly good. There’s no problem in it. If you don’t want to see it, don’t see it. Don’t watch the film! But why are you making personal attacks on people? I can’t understand that,” he said.
Concerns Over Bot-Generated Negativity
Vikram further stated, “We need to tell audiences that every bad comment they read could be generated by a bot, by a computer, by a nobody. It takes Rs 1 lakh to make a thousand comments. I don’t know who’s paying this money. But I’m sure everyone has enemies. You don’t know which faction is doing it. But obviously, someone doesn’t wish you well.”
Coming back to Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail, it is one of the most anticipated entries in the YRF Spy Universe. The film stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in lead roles, with Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol playing pivotal parts. The recently released trailer showcased action-packed sequences and offered a glimpse into the origin story of two female agents. The film is scheduled to release on July 3, 2026.
