Alia Bhatt has been basking under the success of her recently released film Jigra. The action drama which revolves around a brother and sister has been winning everyone’s hearts. Samantha Ruth Prabhu is also among them and she has written a long note for Alia. She called her Tigress and lauded her performance in the film.
Reacting to the same, Alia Bhatt shared the post on her Instagram stories and said, “Thank you so much Sam”. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a poster of Jigra. Along with the poster, she praised Alia Bhatt for her performance and called her a ‘tigress.’ She also lauded director Vasan Bala and Vedang Raina. She wrote, “@aliaabhatt vou tigress! A performance so feisty and throbbing with life that I couldn’t take my eyes off you! The brave choices you make… the standards you set for yourself… Keep inspiring!”
Take a look here:
Alia Bhatt’s much-anticipated film Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala, has faced a disappointing decline in its box office performance on its fourth day. After a relatively strong opening weekend, the film’s collections dropped by an alarming 60 percent on its first Monday, managing to garner only Rs 1.50 crore, according to Sacnilk.com. This brings its total earnings to Rs 18.10 crore since its release on October 11, which included Rs 4.55 crore on the first day, Rs 6.55 crore on Saturday, and Rs 5.5 crore on Sunday.
Industry analysts note that the film’s performance is further hampered by negative sentiments circulating on social media. A significant controversy erupted when Divya Khossla Kumar accused Alia of manipulating the box office numbers by allegedly purchasing tickets to inflate earnings. She took to Instagram, sharing a photo of an empty theatre, and questioned the authenticity of the reported figures, suggesting that the film’s success was artificially boosted. Her statements, including claims that the theatres were largely empty, sparked further scrutiny.
On the work front, Bhatt will be next seen in Alpha where she will share the screen with Sharvari. Prabhu, on the other hand, will be seen in Citadel: Honey Bunny where she will star alongside Varun Dhawan.
