A section of fans viewed the development more positively, speculating whether the credit signals a quiet creative return for the actor. A comment read, “Dyk: The story ‘credits’ of #Alpha have been given to Uday Chopra. Talent flows in the genes, is it a behind the scenes comeback for Uday? #AliaBhatt #Sharvari.”One comment also took aim at elements within the teaser itself, adding: “Someone bring Hamza back already? Instead, we’re stuck watching a so-called ‘spy’ whose father speaks Haryanvi while she somehow speaks perfect Hindi. And on top of that, they’re trying to pass off a 33-year-old woman as an 18-year-old in the movie #alpha. Writer: Uday Chopra.”
