Alia Bhatt recalls signing Jigra after Raha’s birth and gives a hint about the film
In a recent conversation with Forbes, Alia Bhatt provided insights into her upcoming film, Jigra, which was officially announced last year. Describing the project, Alia expressed that it ventures into a different zone compared to her previous works. She offered a tantalizing hint about the film's essence, cautious not to reveal too much.
Reflecting on the moment she committed to the film, Alia recounted how she signed on shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Raha Kapoor. She shared, “At the time I signed Jigra, it was just after I had given birth, a couple of months, like 4 months, so I was feeling very protective. Something about me was feeling… like I was just in Tiger’s mode wanting to protect my cub. So Jigra is all about protecting your loved ones.”
Jigra marks Alia's second movie as a producer, a project she describes as significantly distinct from her maiden production. Nevertheless, she emphasized that the film remains anchored in impactful storytelling, a core value of her production company, which sparks discussions long after its viewing.

She 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.”
Expressing her anticipation for the journey ahead, Alia added, “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.”
After recently wrapping up in Singapore, Alia and Vedang shared endearing pictures on social media, marking the conclusion of filming. The eagerly awaited movie is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on September 27, 2024.
