Alia Bhatt's Jigra will be released on October 11 and has received its certification.

Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina are set to impress audiences in their action-packed film, Jigra, which has quickly become one of the most talked about films since its announcement. Ahead of its big screen release on October 11, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given the film a U/A rating. The film’s run time has also been revealed.

As per the CBFC website, Jigra has been given the U/A certification and has a run time of 155 minutes. This means the film has a duration of 2 hours and 35 minutes. Alia Bhatt is headlining the film and co-produced this Vasan Bala directorial venture with Karan Johar.

In the upcoming movie, Alia and Vedang play siblings, and their chemistry is already getting praise from the audience. The trailer starts with Alia Bhatt’s character receiving a late-night call, informing her that her brother, Ankur (played by Vedang Raina), has been arrested. Confused and worried, she asks him if he’s done anything wrong and if his blood tests will be clean. One then sees Ankur in a courtroom in a foreign country, unable to understand the language, as he’s taken into custody.

Determined to save her brother, Alia sets off on a mission, desperate to see him. She asks if hurting herself would force the authorities to let her visit him, but she’s repeatedly denied access. We watch as she travels to the country where he’s being held and begins her fight to get him released. The trailer picks up with intense action as Alia performs daring stunts, evading guards and taking extreme measures to save her brother, who is being tortured in jail. As she faces roadblocks at every turn, she refuses to give up.

In an earlier interview with The Indian Express, Alia Bhatt shared her reason behind choosing Jigra, where she’s on a mission to free her brother, played by Vedang Raina, while he’s stuck in a foreign jail. She said, “When Jigra came to me, I was going through my most tigress, protective phase. It is possibly why I went mad about the material. It really, really spoke to me. Maybe it would have spoken to me prior as well, but it spoke to me very differently. It hit a different chord. Maybe something else must have come out of that. It is not like I can measure or mould that, but motherhood does make a difference.”
