Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's spy action thriller, Alpha, was released in theatres on July 3. While Alpha continues to divide critics and audiences, comedian Samay Raina has extended his support to Alia Bhatt and Sharvari by booking an entire theatre for a special screening after the actors appeared on the first episode of his revived show, India's Got Latent.

He added, "It's just a small gesture from me to show love to Alia and Sharvari for being soooo cool that they came on my show's first episode. Love them both and super excited to see their movie! See you guys tomorrow!"

Helmed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha stars Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and others in key roles. The film is the seventh instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, following Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, War 2 and Tiger 3. Alpha is also the YRF Spy Universe's first female-led film. It opened to mixed reviews from critics and audiences and has collected ₹37 crore worldwide in two days.

He also praised Alia Bhatt's performance, highlighting her "stardom and theatrical pull" along with her "unquestionable talent", saying both are clearly visible in the film. He added, "The stardom and theatrical pull and unquestionable talent of Alia Bhatt and the impact of a big screen spectacle is undebatable, and that YRF has a continued franchise and an endeavour to create theatrical tentpole experiences that need our applause and not any toxicity!"
