Vedang Raina made his big screen debut in 2024 with the jail break action thriller Jigra co-starring Alia Bhatt. The film was appreciated for its concept and acting, but did not perform well at the box office. Vedang has now reacted to the poor performance of the film. He said that the hard work was for the audience’s enjoyment and if it doesn’t happen, the question arises what could have been better.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Vedang Raina spoke about how the box office performance of Jigra impressed him. He shared that an actor works for a long time in one project. Vedang said that the objective was that the audience should like the film and entertain them.
The Archies actor said, “We work so hard behind the scenes to get some kind of recognition and appreciation for our work and for people to enjoy it.” He further said that if the audience does not respond that way then questions arise as to what could have been done better or differently. Vedang called it a ‘natural’ way to deal with the situation.
Vedang Raina also revealed that he was able to understand these aspects of the film industry better because he had been in it for a year. He said that he is taking away many positive things and ‘constructive criticism’ from Jigra. Vedang said that he wanted to improve with every film and reach a point where it paid off. He wanted to keep working and leave everything else to the universe.
Vedang Raina also showed his singing talent in Jigra. She lent her voice to the song Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka and the title track of the film.
Apart from Vedang Raina and Alia Bhatt as brother and sister, Jigra also stars Manoj Pahwa and Rahul Ravindran in important roles. The film is directed by Vasan Bala. Presented by Viacom18 Studios, Dharma Productions and Eternal Sunshine Productions, the film is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt and Somen Mishra.
