About Jigra
Alia Bhatt announced her next project Jigra, in September last year. Interestingly, the actress will not only be acting but will also be co-producing the film along with Karan Johar. Jigra is helmed by Vasan Bala.
Announcing the movie, Alia 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”.
