Taking to Instagram, the film’s producer Karan Johar also shared the new release date and wrote, “Courage comes to play when one of your own is at risk. Starring Alia Bhatt & Vedang Raina - #Jigra arrives in cinemas on 11th October, 2024.”
‘Jigra’ marks the first collaboration between Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, who made his acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’, which premiered on Netflix last year.
The upcoming Hindi movie is being directed by Vasan Bala, who has earlier helmed projects like 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota', and 'Monica, O My Darling'. Both these movies received critical acclaim.
Last year, the film’s announcement video was shared online by the makers. The announcement video kicked off with a quote by GK Chesterton, which read, "The paradox of courage is that one must be a little careless of life to keep it."
In the video, Alia Bhatt's voice was heard as she said, "Dekh. Dekh mujhe. Meri Rakhi pehenta hai na tu, to mere protection mai hai. Tujhe mai kuch bhi hone nahi dungi, kabhi bhi."
Then the title card read, "Alia Bhatt in Jigra." The video then showed Alia Bhatt standing with a bag on her shoulder.
'Jigra' is being produced by Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt and Somen Mishra.
Apart from ‘Jigra’, Alia Bhatt will also feature in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love and War’. The film will also star Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
She also has Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ in the pipeline. The upcoming movie will also star Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Katrina Kaif.
