The highly anticipated trailer for the film ‘Jigra’, directed by Vasan Bala, has finally been unveiled, sparking a wave of excitement among fans. The film, which stars Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, promises to be a gripping action-packed narrative centered around a heart-wrenching prison break. The storyline delves into the lengths a devoted sister will go to in order to protect her brother. Taking to social media, Alia Bhatt shared the trailer with an enthusiastic post on Instagram, stating, “All set? #JIGRA THEATRICAL TRAILER OUT NOW! See you in cinemas on October 11.”
In ‘Jigra,’ Alia Bhatt steps into the shoes of Satya, a fiercely devoted sister who’s determined to free her brother Ankur, a role taken on by Vedang Raina. Throughout the trailer, Alia’s character Satya is portrayed as a beacon of resilience and strength, reflecting the unwavering bond between siblings.

This film marks Vedang Raina’s second major appearance on the big screen, following his debut in ‘The Archies’ last year. The excitement surrounding his performance is palpable, and fans are eager to see his evolution as an actor in this new role.
Social media has been buzzing since the release of the trailer, with netizens showering praise and sharing their reactions:

Another fan tweeted, “This BGM ohh god insaneee i love when women carry their own films 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Jigra #AliaBhatt,” underlining the strong impact of the film’s background music and Alia Bhatt’s commanding presence.

On Reddit, one user remarked, “For once a trailer which doesn’t show full concept of the movie 😭🤣 And dam, that 1st shot of VEDANG… He looks like RANVEER.

Another chimed in, “Am I the only one who actually liked it? This trailer doesn’t seem depressing like the teaser which is quite a positive sign for me. Also seems like something fresh after a while. Alia’s acting is fine, but Vedang in his few glimpses shows some promise; hope he does well! (sic.)”

Really looking forward to it!! (sic.)” shared another enthusiastic netizen.
The film’s appeal is further amplified by its captivating soundtrack. Notably, the trailer features a popular track titled ‘Chal Kudiye,’ reuniting Alia Bhatt with Diljit Dosanjh. Another crowd-pleaser is a recreated version of the classic song ‘Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka,’ showcasing Vedang Raina’s vocal talent, adding another layer of excitement for the audience.
