Alia Bhatt has announced concluding the shooting of her upcoming film, Jigra. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film also stars Vedang Raina, who made his debut in The Archies last year. In a parallel celebration, Raina took to his Instagram to announce the wrap-up, expressing gratitude for the profound experience the film and his character provided him.
Describing it as a journey that gave as much as it took, the actors eagerly anticipated the film's release on September 27. Meanwhile, Karan Johar, associated with the project, bid adieu to his ‘Jigras,’ Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, sharing the excitement for the audience to witness their work on the big screen.
Last year, Bhatt offered a sneak peek into the film by sharing pictures from the first-day shoot of Jigra. She posted two fresh grayscale images from the filming location. The first captures her preparing for a scene, while the second shows her gazing directly into the camera through a glass surface.

Dharma Productions shared an announcement video for Jigra, giving audiences a glimpse into the film's intriguing narrative.
