The first teaser of Alia Bhatt’s upcoming movie, ‘Jigra’, is out. The makers unveiled the short clip on Sunday, September 8, and it appears to be a compelling watch. The film features actor Vedang Raina, who made his film debut in Zoya Akhtar's 'The Archies.'

The teaser features Alia playing her brother Vedang's protective sibling after he was arrested by the authorities in a foreign country. She is seen running, avoiding gunfire, facing tough rivals, and putting in a lot of training to get her brother back. Rahul Ravindran and Manoj Pahwa support her in her endeavour. The sneak peek shifts between the affection between siblings and how Alia's character runs from gunshots and bombs, blows up jail walls, and bursts through car fire to try to give her brother one last hug.

Alia Bhatt has previously discussed her experience breaking into production, saying that it is both "exciting and overwhelming" in an interview with Film Companion. “I believe stories are everywhere, and stories are everything! I turned producer with Eternal Sunshine to tell some of these stories, ones that evoke emotions and leave an impact. Our first production, Darlings, got so much love that it was exciting and overwhelming at the same time,” she said.
