He also shared about her preparation for the physically intense sequences, saying, "She has never done this kind of action before, and I was amazed seeing how prepared she was for the shoot. I could see she was giving her all because action is hard to pull off, and she went for it."
The film also marks Bobby’s first collaboration with Alia after he previously shared screen with her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, in Animal. "I’m very fond of Ranbir and Alia, and I always wanted to work with both of them. With Ranbir, I did Animal, and now with Alia, I have done Alpha.

A refreshing addition to mainstream cinema
Bobby further called Alpha a refreshing addition to mainstream Hindi cinema, because, "It is quite amazing that we are making an action film in India, like Alpha, featuring two girls doing action on screen. I like ‘Alpha’ a lot because it is new, it is refreshing, and a new visual for the audience to watch in theatres."
