Being one of the highly anticipated films of Alia Bhatt, where the actress will be seen in a strong, action-packed role, the trailer of Jigra has garnered much attention. Add to that, the sibling bond between the actress and newbie Vedang Raina is something that the audiences are eager to witness on the big screen. But did you know? Filmmaker Vasan Bala did not want the script to be sent to Alia and there is a reason for it. He felt the first draft presented to the actress wasn’t up to the mark.
Jigra filmmaker Vasan Bala ‘did not want’ Karan Johar to send the script draft to Alia Bhatt and this was the reason!
Readers would be aware that the entire team of the film including producer Karan Johar are busy promoting the action entertainer, a few days ahead of its release. In an interaction with Tried & Refused Productions, as the actors and director, producer discussed the film, wherein Vasan Bala opened up about how it all came together. Recalling the start of this journey, the filmmaker revealed that he had sent a rough draft to Karan Johar since the latter was keen on collaborating with him after Monica O My Darling but Bala maintained that he had no idea that KJo would forward it to Alia Bhatt.
“I had written a very kachha pakka email, stream of consciousness thoughts… sent it to Karan and 6-7 hours later, he called saying that I have already sent it to Alia and I was really not happy with it,” confessed Vasan. The filmmaker believed that he should have at least made basic changes before it was sent to the actress. “I was like I would have at least done some spell check, grammar check, hygiene, written some very nice hero entry… That email was sent and I asked Karan ‘why did you do this?’ He said ‘no, no this is how it works. Then he said we’ll meet in a couple of days”, he added.
Marking the theatrical debut of Vedang Raina, Jigra features Alia Bhatt as a fierce and protective sister who would go to any lengths to protect and save her brother from prison. The film is slated to release on October 11.
