Alia Bhatt has a superb range as an actor as she is ready with yet another film and this time she is set to protect her brother. Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina play sister-brother duo in Jigra. The film is directed by Vasan Bala and is full of high-action drama.
Jigra makers teased the first official trailer today as it follows Alia Bhatt’s character Satya’s craziness to save her brother and bring him out of prison. The starting scene of the film shows that Vedang’s character has been awarded death by electrocution for some crime and Alia’s character tries her best to pull him out before its too late. The prison is in some unnamed Southeast Asian country.
Alongside Alia and Vedang, Jigra also stars Manoj Pahwa. Jigra marks Alia’s debut in the action genre.
In the teaser trailer for Jigra, we got an impression that Satya works in the hospitality industry. After her brother gets arrested, Satya travels to the foreign country, where she begins putting together an escape plan into motion. Vedang is arrested on false charges.

Manoj Pahwa appears to be playing a mentor/father-figure to Satya.
