Alia Bhatt’s next with Vasan Bala titled ‘Jigra’, release date announced

The film, set to release next year, is co-produced by Alia Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions along with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions

‘Jigra’ will hit screens on September 27, 2024.

Actor Alia Bhatt is collaborating with director Vasan Bala for her next action film titled Jigra.

The makers made the announcement with a video that begins with a G. K. Chesterton quote: “The paradox of courage is that one must be a little careless of life in order to keep it.”

An anime-style sequence then introduces Alia, lugging a backpack, making a promise to her brother. “I will never let anything happen to you,” she says.

Presenting #Jigra, directed by the extremely talented @vasan_bala and produced by @dharmamovies & @EternalSunProd . 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. pic.twitter.com/ZB18lMvxSe
