Starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, the film is poised to deliver an intense sibling drama. The excitement around the movie has been further amplified by the recent release of a new poster featuring the two stars, which has captured the attention of fans and critics alike.
On September 7, Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to unveil the latest poster for Jigra, a move that has only heightened anticipation for the film’s teaser trailer. The poster shows Alia Bhatt seated in a blue and white striped shirt, with Vedang Raina, who plays her sibling in the film, sitting on the ground below her. Alia affectionately wraps one arm around Vedang and gently rests the other on his head, conveying a deep sense of care and affection. The intimate portrayal suggests a strong emotional bond between the characters, which has excited fans about the film’s exploration of sibling dynamics.
Accompanying the poster, Alia Bhatt shared a caption that read, “Ek hazaaron mein… #JIGRA TEASER TRAILER OUT TOMORROW AT 11AM,” indicating that the teaser trailer is set to be released on September 8. The announcement has already sparked a wave of enthusiasm on social media. Karan Johar, a prominent figure in Bollywood and the film’s producer, left heart emoticons in the comments section, reflecting his support and excitement. Fans quickly flooded the post with praise for the new poster and the chemistry between the two actors.
One fan commented, “You both literally look like siblings—give the casting director a raise,” while another highlighted the shared heritage, noting, “They both clearly share the same Kashmiri genes.” Such comments underscore the authenticity and depth that the casting has brought to the film. There were also remarks praising Alia Bhatt’s performance, with one user stating, “Alia Bhatt once again proves her brilliance as an actor, fully immersing herself in the character of Satya.” Another fan expressed high expectations for Bhatt’s portrayal, saying, “Alia Bhatt’s portrayal in Jigra promises to be extraordinary, combining tenderness and intensity in a character that resonates deeply.”
To further build anticipation, Alia Bhatt had previously posted two additional posters on Instagram. The first poster features her intense gaze partially directed at the camera, while the second showcases her looking directly at the camera with the caption, “Dum hai… Satya mein dum hai! (There is strength… Truth has strength) JIGRA TEASER TRAILER OUT ON 8TH SEPTEMBER.” These promotional efforts are part of the film’s strategy to engage audiences and build excitement before the official teaser is released.
Directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions in collaboration with Alia Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions, Jigra is scheduled for a theatrical release on October 11, 2024.
