Karan Johar unveiled the title of Alia Bhatt and Vasan Bala’s film ‘Jigra’ along with the first look. The film, which seems to be a tale of a sister's love for her brother, will be released in September 2024.
The announcement video begins with a quote by GK Chesterton flashing on the screen. The quote reads, ‘The paradox of courage is that one must be a little careless of life in order to keep it.’
The video then shows Alia with a bag on her shoulder, standing in the streets of what seems to be Japan. 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, ‘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.’
Alia Bhatt too shared the announcement video and 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 produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Alia's own production house Eternal Sunshine.
