Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh’s action movie, Alpha, co-starring Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor, is the latest addition to the YRF Spy Universe. Ever since its theatrical release this Friday, the film has been grabbing significant attention, not only for the female leads, but also for the character of Bobby Deol.
The film follows two women pulled into a dangerous mission against a powerful enemy. But one major twist turns the whole plot upside down. While the film has been receiving mixed reactions from the audience, most agree that Bobby Deol’s secret identity was the saving grace of the spy thriller. The biggest surprise in Alpha isn’t just Bobby Deol’s villainous turn; it’s the revelation that “Baba” was never ‘Colonel Fateh Singh Lakhawat’ at all! (Spoilers ahead.)
The dark secret behind Bobby Deol’s ‘Baba’
For the most part, Bobby Deol’s character as ‘Colonel Fateh Singh Lakhawat’, the ruthless military officer, is known simply as ‘Baba’ to Alia Bhatt’s ‘Sita’. He appears to be a decorated Indian Army officer leading the secretive Alpha program, a government-backed initiative meant to create genetically enhanced super-soldiers. However, to Sita, he is more than a commander. He is her only parent, who has raised her and trained her to be a deadly assassin since childhood.
