Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s action-packed performances in Alpha have drawn praise for their strength, agility and screen presence. Now, their fitness trainers have shared what went into preparing the two actors, revealing that the transformation involved more than a year of disciplined training focused on strength, conditioning and action skills.

According to trainers Karan Sawhney and Robin Behl, the goal was never limited to achieving a toned physique. Instead, the training programme was designed to help both actors convincingly perform demanding action sequences while balancing long shooting schedules.

The focus was on strength, not just appearance

Speaking in a video shared on Instagram, Karan Sawhney said Alia and Sharvari were already working long hours while filming Alpha, making it important to create a practical and effective training routine.

“Alia and Sharvari were shooting 10-12 hours. The brief was simple; it was clear for Alia and Sharvari. I mean, they had to be strong,” he said.

Robin Behl explained that physical appearance was only one aspect of the preparation.

“They had to look fit, they had to look strong, they had to move well because there was going to be a lot of action,” he shared.

Training progressed from strength to action skills

The trainers revealed that the programme began with building a strong fitness foundation before gradually introducing more demanding workouts.

“The action had to look believable; they had to look toned. We started with a strength programme and then slowly moved into strength and conditioning, where we unlocked certain skills,” Karan said.

Robin added that the preparation extended well beyond regular gym sessions.

“It was a long project. We worked on it for over a year, and I think even longer after that. There were weapons involved. There were martial arts involved. So, a more holistic approach towards training rather than just the one and a half to two hours we were spending in the gym. I think the results are showing for itself. They both look amazing. The film is looking great,” he said.

The trainers concluded by encouraging audiences to watch the film, saying, “Go watch the film, you will see the results for yourself.”
