Bobby Deol is enjoying a stellar phase in his career, with back-to-back intriguing roles capturing the audience’s attention. After receiving praise for his performance in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut series The Ba*ds of Bollywood, Deol is now making headlines again — this time for his fresh look in a mysterious new project. On Monday, the actor took to social media to unveil a striking poster, introducing himself as “Professor White Noise”, instantly setting off a wave of curiosity and fan theories.
In the poster, Bobby Deol sports long hair, thick black-framed glasses, and a stylish purple outfit layered with a matching coat. His intense expression and the war-themed background — featuring silhouettes of helicopters and tanks — hint at a high-octane, possibly espionage-driven narrative. The caption reads: “Popcorn popcorn le aao, show shuru honay wala hai… Oct 19 #AagLagaaDe”, further building suspense.
While the actor hasn’t confirmed which project this is for, fans are speculating it could be tied to Alpha, the upcoming action thriller from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) Spy Universe starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Deol is reportedly playing the main antagonist in the film, and the timing of this poster — just days after War 2’s post-credit scene — has only added fuel to the fire.
In the post-credit scene of War 2, Bobby Deol made a surprise appearance, officially marking his entry into the YRF Spy Universe. The sequence shows his character stamping a mysterious symbol on a young girl’s hand. When asked what it means, he replies, “Alpha.” He goes on to explain the program’s philosophy: “The first, the fastest, the strongest.” Fans quickly connected the dots, speculating that the young girl may grow up to be Alia Bhatt’s character in Alpha, and Deol’s character may have a past as her trainer-turned-nemesis.
The look unveiled in the “Professor White Noise” poster bears some resemblance to the iconic Money Heist Professor, prompting playful comparisons online. While some wondered if it was an ad campaign, others were convinced it’s part of Alpha’s promotional strategy.
Whether or not the “Professor White Noise” avatar is directly tied to Alpha, Bobby Deol has certainly piqued fans’ curiosity yet again, and all eyes are now on October 19 for what promises to be a fiery reveal.
