After the earning of ‘Alpha’ the claim of ‘Ramayana’ went viral again
Amidst the box office performance of ‘Alpha’, an old post is becoming increasingly viral on social media. It has been claimed that Alia Bhatt left ‘Ramayana’ because its shooting was clashing with the dates of ‘Alpha’. However, this claim has not been confirmed by any official source. In fact, reports surfaced in August 2023 claimed that the makers were considering Alia Bhatt for the role of Sita. At the same time, news also came that due to her busy schedule, she could not give time to this big project. However, neither Alia nor the makers ever said that she left the film specifically because of ‘Alpha’.
Who finally got the role of Sita?
After Alia’s name was in discussion, Sai Pallavi got the role of Sita in ‘Ramayana’. Ranbir Kapoor was already associated with the role of Lord Ram. The film is being counted among the most talked about projects of Indian cinema.
How was the box office performance of ‘Alpha’?
According to trade reports, ‘Alpha’ did not even cross the Rs 50 crore nett mark in India in its first week. On the second Friday, the film earned around Rs 1.25 crore, taking its domestic net collection to around Rs 47.50 crore. The worldwide collection of the film is said to be beyond Rs 80 crore. According to reports, the budget of ‘Alpha’ is said to be between Rs 100 to 130 crores. In such a situation, considering the current box office performance, concerns are being raised in the trade circuit about its theatrical earnings. However, the film is currently running in theaters and Yash Raj Films has not given any official statement on its success or failure.
Can ‘Alpha’ become the lowest grossing film of YRF Spy Universe?
According to trade discussions, if there is no big jump in the film’s earnings, ‘Alpha’ may become the lowest grossing film of YRF Spy Universe. Earlier, the lowest domestic net collection in this franchise was of Salman Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, which had earned Rs 198.78 crore in India.
