Opposite Alia Bhatt is Vedang Raina. A newcomer to the industry following his debut in The Archies, Raina has already generated a buzz. Some reports suggest he might play Bhatt‘s brother in the film, but the official confirmation on their characters’ relationship is awaited.
Adding to the excitement is the fact that Bhatt is not just the leading actress in Jigra, but also a co-producer under her banner Eternal Sunshine Productions, alongside the established Dharma Productions. This venture marks Bhatt‘s second foray into production, following Darlings.
