The makers of the film dropped a gripping teaser on Wednesday, featuring Alia in an emotional voiceover that captures the essence of sisterly love and protection.

Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala—best known for Monica, O My Darling—promises to be a captivating thriller. The film, announced in September last year, features a stellar cast including Aditya Nanda, Yuvraj Vijan, and Harssh Singh in key roles. Bala’s unique style of storytelling is expected to add an intriguing edge to the narrative, while Alia’s portrayal of a fiercely protective sister is set to be the emotional heart of the film.Originally slated for a September 27 release, Jigra will now hit theatres on October 11.
Vedang Raina, who plays Alia’s brother, made his acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies last year, and his role in Jigra is expected to further establish him as a promising talent in Bollywood. The sibling dynamic between Alia and Vedang is likely to be one of the film’s key emotional drivers, and fans are eager to see how their on-screen chemistry unfolds.
This project marks a first-time collaboration between Alia Bhatt and Vasan Bala, making it one of the most exciting pairings in recent times. Co-produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Jigra is the third venture under Eternal Sunshine Productions, following the critically acclaimed Darlings (2022) and the 2024 Amazon Prime Video series Poacher.
While Jigra takes center stage, Alia Bhatt is also making headlines for her upcoming role in Alpha, the first female-led film in Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) Spy Universe. As Jigra gears up for its release, the teaser has already struck a chord with audiences, offering a glimpse into a story filled with emotion, suspense, and the unbreakable bond between siblings.
