Bhatt made her maiden appearance at the awards show and presented the Best Film Not in the English Language BAFTA. As she walked up to the stage, Alia began with an iconic ‘Namaskar’ on stage, creating a moment for Indian cinema at the very British award ceremony. Alia’s ‘Namaskar’ at the BAFTAs 2026 Introduced by host Alan Cumming, Bhatt appeared in a silver gown on stage and greeted the audience with “Namaskar” before adding, “Agla award ek aise film ke liye hain, jo angrezi me nahi hai.” (Next award is for a film that is not in English). She cheekily followed it up with, “Don’t reach for the subtitles just yet,” before switching to English and introducing the nominees in the Best Film Not In English Language category.

Apart from giving a short preview of the film, Bhatt also talked about it, saying that it will be a risky proposition in the marketplace. “Alpha is the first female-led action film from the YRF universe, so that’s also a risk, because you’ve not historically seen that perform in the same way that the other male-led films have performed,” Bhatt said. The first look played at the festival has not been shared on the social media. Alpha will be the first female-led instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, which so far has consisted of all male-led films.
