In the first look, Alia is seen in pants, and a shirt and is sporting a ponytail. She is also carrying a backpack.
Alia is heard saying: "Meri rakhi pahenta hai na tu. Tu mere protection main hai. Tujhe main kuch bhi nahi hone dungi. Kabhi bhi."
‘Jigra’ marks Bhatt's second production venture via Eternal Sunshine Productions after 2022's ‘Darlings’, which was released on Netflix. She was last seen in her Hollywood debut ‘Heart of Stone’ on Netflix.
From debuting in Dharma Productions' 2012 film ‘Student of the Year’ to now producing a film with the studio, Alia said life has come full circle for her.
She wrote on social media, "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. 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
JIGRA - in cinemas on 27th September 2024♥️ "
