New Delhi: Actor Alia Bhatt is all set to star in another Dharma Productions film titled ‘Jigra’, which will be directed by Vasan Bala. The film, also co-produced by Alia’s Eternal Sunshine Productions, will hit the screens on September 27, 2024. 


Karan Johar's Dharma Productions shared the film announcement on its official X page. 


".@aliaa08 is back to put up a courageous fight like no other for her #Jigra! JIGRA, directed by Vasan Bala - releasing in cinemas on 27th September 2024," the banner said in the post. 






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♥️ "




Bala, known for 'Monica, O My Darling' and 'Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota', penned a description of the film on his official Instagram account. 


"She made a promise and she will fulfill it... whatever the obstacle... whatever the cost... #Jigra," the filmmaker wrote. 




The film is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt and Somen Mishra.  


Other details related to the film are still under wraps.
