Jigra teaser: Alia Bhatt is Vedang Raina’s fierce sister in Vasan Bala film
The teaser of Alia Bhatt’s new film Jigra was released today i.e. on 8th September. In this film directed by Vasan Bala, she is playing the role of Vedang Raina’s protective sister. Watch the teaser here.
Actress Alia Bhatt’s next film Jigra looks like an interesting film based on its first teaser, which was released on Sunday, September 8. Directed by Vasan Bala, best known for films such as Monica, O My Darling and Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, the film presents a story of ‘courage, passion and determination’. It also stars actor Vedang Raina, who made his debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies.
In the teaser, Alia is seen as a sister protecting her brother Vedang, who has been arrested by the police in a foreign country. Throughout the teaser, we see her running, dodging bullets, fighting tough opponents and working hard to bring her brother back. Actor Manoj Pahwa plays her mentor, who at one point tells her, “I don’t want to become a child, I want to be a child (There is no time to be a hero like Amitabh Bachchan, you have to run away) she replies, “Now I have to become a Bachchan (I want to be a hero).”
As the teaser progresses, a recreated version of the beautiful song, Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka, based on the brother-sister relationship, plays in the background. The song was originally sung by Kishore Kumar and featured in Dev Anand’s film Hare Rama Hare Krishna.

Alia has been regularly sharing posters of Jigra to keep the audience interested. Her look in the film has even impressed her mother-in-law, actress Neetu Kapoor, who commented on one of them, saying, “Wow fierce,” followed by a fire emoji. Alia trained in basketball for the film.
Alia has also co-produced Jigra with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Talking about the film, the actor had earlier said, “Just a little over a year later, we are all set to launch our second production – Jigra, a beautiful tale of courage, passion, and determination. I hope to continue supporting compelling stories that are authentic, enduringly timeless, and work with brilliant creative minds to bring them to life.”
Alia Bhatt turned producer for the first time with the film Darlings in 2022. She announced her production house ‘Eternal Sunshine’.
Jigra will release in theatres on October 11. It was earlier scheduled to release on September 27. However, the makers postponed the film after the makers of Telugu actor Jr NTR’s Devraa: Part 1 announced that the much-awaited pan-India film will release on September 27.
