‘Devara: Part 1’ release date preponed, Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’ delayed; Here’s everything you need to know

A series of highly anticipated films are lined up in the second half of 2024 and the makers are fighting to secure suitable release dates for their films. Untangling the complexities, release dates of two much-anticipated films- ‘Devara: Part 1’ and ‘Jigra’ are finally out.

‘Devara: Part 1’ release date out

Starring Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles, the film has a new release date. The film has been preponed and will now hit the theatres on September 27. Devara Part 1 was earlier scheduled to be released on October 10.
If released on October 10, the film would be up against Rajinikanth’s ‘Vettaiyan’ at box office. Thalaiva recently confirmed that his film ‘Vettaiyan’ will be released on October 10. In a likely bid to avoid the clash, the makers have decided to release the film earlier than scheduled.

Sharing the update, Karan Johar whose Dharma Productions have acquired distribution rights of the film wrote ‘Prepare for an early arrival for an epic showdown with the unforgiving storm! Man of Masses Jr NTR’s #Devara- in cinemas 27th September, 2024.’

Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’ gets a new release date

The makers of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina starrer ‘Jigra’ have announced a new release date for the film. Earlier scheduled to release on September 27, 2024, the film will now hit the theatres on October 11.

Directed by Vasan Bala, the film is backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The change in release date is likely due to ‘Devara Part 1’ being released on September 27, which is also being distributed by Dharma productions in North India.

Revealing the new release date, Alia Bhatt shared the poster of ‘Jigra’ and wrote, “11.10.2024 | JIGRA | See you at the movies.”

About ‘Jigra’

With Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina in lead roles, ‘Jigra’ is directed by Vasan Bala and co-produced by Karan Johar. The makers had earlier released a motion poster of the film in which Alia’s animated version is seen standing in the middle of a road. The voiceover in the motion poster suggests that the film is about a brother and sister. This would be Alia’s second production after ‘Darlingss’.
