Alia Bhatt will soon be seen in a Vasan Bala film. Produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Alia’s Eternal Sunshine, the film’s announcement video was shared by the makers on Tuesday. The film is titled Jigra.
From the announcement video, it seems like the film is about a sister who would go to any lengths to protect her brother. The anime-style video shows Alia standing in the middle of a road with neon hoardings behind. She is wearing a short and trousers and holding a backpack. A voiceover from the actor is heard: “Dekh mujhe. Meri rakhi pehenta haina tu? Tu mere protection mei hai. Tujhe main kuch bhi hone nahi dungi. Kabhi bhi (Look at me. You wear my rakhi right? You are under my protection. I won't let anything happen to you. Ever).”
Sharing the video, Dharma Productions wrote on X, “@aliaa08 is back to put up a courageous fight like no other for her #Jigra! JIGRA, directed by Vasan Bala - releasing in cinemas on 27th September 2024.”
Karan Johar also shared the video and wrote on Instagram, “The return of...my #Jigra, @aliaabhatt
Alia Bhatt wrote, “Presenting #Jigra, directed by the extremely talented @vasanbala and produced by @dharmamovies & @eternalsunshineproduction. From debuting in a Dharma production to now producing a film with them, in many ways, it feels like coming full circle from where I started. Every day is a different day… exciting, challenging (and a little scary)… not just as an actor but also as a producer as we bring this film to life, and I CANNOT wait to share more as we move forward. JIGRA - in cinemas on 27th September 2024.”
Jigra is scheduled to release in theatres on September 27, 2024.
