Arjun Kapoor has recently praised Alia Bhatt’s performance in the upcoming film Jigra which has been co-produced by Bhatt herself and stars Vedang Raina alongside her. Kapoor, among several other Bollywood celebrities, took to his Instagram stories to share his enthusiasm for the movie, making the statement, "Just show me the film already, guys!" This has stirred even more excitement for the film, with many fans eagerly awaiting its release on October 11.
The film's trailer has sparked a wave of appreciation, with celebrities such as Janhvi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Sharvari also sharing their admiration for Bhatt's acting and the gripping storyline. Janhvi Kapoor posted on her Instagram story, mentioning Vedang Raina, the film’s co-star, with heartfelt support. She said, "Vedang Raina, my heart’s going out to you in the trailer, only in the film IDK what condition we’ll be in. Alia Bhatt lady Bachchan, I can’t wait for this. Looks epic." Neetu Kapoor joined the chorus by calling the trailer "Goosebumps and impactful," while Alia’s mother, veteran actress Soni Razdan, added her voice to the praise, describing the trailer as "Outstanding."
The trailer introduces viewers to Alia Bhatt’s character, who receives a distressing late-night call informing her that her brother, played by Vedang Raina, has been arrested in a foreign country. This sets off a chain of events, with Bhatt’s character embarking on a mission to save her brother. The storyline hints at intense action scenes, including daring stunts, evading guards, and taking extreme measures to rescue her sibling. The trailer further teases a gripping emotional journey, as Alia’s character faces insurmountable roadblocks but refuses to give up, determined to free her brother.
The intense and heartfelt trailer has left audiences and Bollywood insiders equally impressed. Kapoor's spontaneous and excited reaction reflects how this film is gaining momentum before its release. The boldness of Alia’s role, combined with the strong emotional undertones, has created anticipation for a gripping narrative about love, family, and determination. The film is centered on a story of courage, passion, and resilience, themes that Bhatt had earlier revealed when speaking about Jigra's plot.
Alia Bhatt had shared her thoughts on the film last year, stating that the movie was more than just a project for her. It was about telling a story that resonates with people on a deeply emotional level. She had revealed that Jigra is a story of "courage, passion, and determination," and she expressed her hope that audiences will connect with the authentic and timeless narrative it presents.
Jigra stands as a testament to Bhatt’s growth as an actor and a producer, marking her second production after the success of Darlings. The film showcases her evolving career, both in front of and behind the camera, as she continues to push boundaries with meaningful, powerful content. Fans, critics, and industry peers alike are awaiting to witness her compelling portrayal of a sister on a mission, navigating a foreign country’s legal system to save her brother from a harsh fate.
The Bollywood fraternity has come together in support of this exciting project, and the widespread endorsement from stars like Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and others is only further fueling the excitement surrounding Jigra. With Alia Bhatt at the helm, delivering what promises to be an emotionally charged performance, combined with Vedang Raina’s role and a storyline packed with action and drama, the film is set to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
As the buzz builds up and the release date draws near, audiences can expect Jigra to be a film that not only tugs at the heartstrings but also showcases Bhatt’s exceptional range as an actress.
