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, Vasan Bala revealed that he was not happy with how Karan Johar had sent the film’s script to Alia Bhatt.
Speaking to Tried and Refused Productions, Vasan Bala said, “I had written a very kachha pakka email, stream of consciousness thoughts… sent it to Karan and 6-7 hours later, he called saying that I have already sent it to Alia and I was really not happy with it.”
“I was like I would have at least done some spell check, grammar check, hygiene, written some very nice hero entry… That email was sent and I asked Karan ‘Why did you do this?’ He said ‘No, no this is how it works. Then he said we’ll meet in a couple of days,” he recalled. Alia mentioned that she liked the film from the first half itself.
In the upcoming movie, Alia and Vedang play siblings, and their chemistry is already getting praise from the audience. Soon after Alia shared the trailer on her Instagram handle, fans, her industry friends and family, flooded the comment section with positive reactions, including her mother-in-law and actress, Neetu Kapoor, along with Bollywood diva Janhvi Kapoor, who called the actress, ‘Lady Bachchan’.
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.”
Alia is not only headlining the film but has also co-produced this Vasan Bala directorial venture with Karan Johar.
