Social media users dismissed viral screenshots claiming the Pakistani actors praised Alia Bhatt’s upcoming film, calling them fabricated amid growing debate over Alpha.
Alpha has sparked fresh controversy after fake social media posts falsely linked Pakistani actors Mahira Khan and Iqra Aziz to the promotion of Alia Bhatt’s upcoming film.
The screenshots spread widely across social media after users claimed the actors had praised the film.
One fabricated post attributed to Iqra Aziz read, “Must watch movie guys. Our reply for Dhurandhar.”
Another falsely quoted Mahira Khan as saying, “Loved it. Finally old Bollywood which we grew up watching is back on track.”
However, many social media users quickly identified the screenshots as fake.
They argued that someone had created the posts to suggest Pakistani celebrities supported the film.
Debate over promotion
The viral screenshots have intensified online discussion surrounding Alpha.
Some users described the incident as fan-made mischief.
Others questioned whether it was an attempt to generate publicity for the film.
However, there is no evidence linking the fabricated posts to the film’s producers or promotional team.
Film remains under scrutiny
Alpha stars Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and Bobby Deol.
The film has attracted significant online attention since the release of its trailer.
Many users criticised its promotional campaign.
Others compared the film with Dhurandhar, prompting further debate across social media.
Meanwhile, neither Mahira Khan nor Iqra Aziz has publicly responded to the viral screenshots.
