Mumbai (Maharashtra):
The teaser trailer of ‘Jigra’ has been trending ever since it was released. Vedang Raina not only captivated the audience with her powerful performance but also with her soulful voice.
Some time ago, Alia Bhatt took to Instagram and revealed the teaser trailer on Sunday.
The video begins with Alia having a drink at a restaurant and telling a story about her brother and life with someone.
In the video, she is heard saying that she has very little time and that she has a lot to do.
Then, as the video progresses, Vedang Raina is seen trapped and Alia tries to free him. She is helped in this mission by Manoj Pahwa and Rahul Ravindran.
Alia prepares to face bandits and even fight with them.
The teaser shows a sisterly bond between Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina with the song “Phoolon ka Taaron” in the background.
Vedang sang the modern version of ‘Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka’. The song beautifully sets the mood of the Jigra theme.
Sharing his excitement at getting the chance to sing the song, Vedang said in a press release shared by his team, “Being able to sing ‘Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka’ for Jigra was an unforgettable experience for me. Music has always been an important part of my life, and when the producers saw some of my songs on social media, they believed it would be a perfect fit for this film. I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to bring this beautiful song to life, especially since it plays such an important role in setting the mood for the teaser. Working alongside Alia Bhatt and portraying this sibling bond was truly special, and I think it is something that will touch the hearts of many. Combining acting and singing in Jigra feels like a dream come true, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have created.”
Vedang interestingly gave glimpses of his singing prowess on Raksha Bandhan. He sang the song for his on-screen sister Alia Bhatt during an Instagram live.
The film is slated to release on October 11, 2024. ‘Jigra’ marks the second film for Vedang, who made his debut last year with Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’.
On June 13, the producers announced the release date of the film. Previously, it was supposed to be released on September 27, 2024, but now the audience can watch it in theaters from October 11.
Sharing the update about the change in release date, Alia took to Instagram and wrote, “11.10.2024 | JIGRA | See you at the cinema.” She also released the new poster of the film.
Directed by Vasan Bala, ‘Jigra’ also stars Vedang Raina.
Director Vasan Bala has previously helmed films like ‘Monica O My Darling’, crime thriller ‘Peddlers’ and ‘Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota’.
In February 2024, Alia shared pictures from the sets after wrapping up the film, made by Dharma Productions.
Sharing the post, she earlier mentioned, “jigra oh…abki teri baari ho @vedangraina and that’s the wrap of the movie #JIGRA @vasanbala @swapsagram.
Khushi and Vedang had previously made their acting debut together as Betty Cooper and Reggie Mantle in Zoya Akhtar’s Indian adaptation of Archie Comics, which premiered on Netflix. The film also stars Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Mihir Ahuja, Yuvraj Menda and Dot, among others.
