2024 has been an eventful year for cinephiles, and it continues to be so with several anticipated releases on the horizon. Among the final films of the year, Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina’s ‘Jigra’ remains one of the most highly awaited. The film will now release on October 11, following postponement. On Thursday, September 5, the makers unveiled the first look of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina from the upcoming film.

Sharing her first look from the thriller, co-producer and lead star Alia Bhatt captioned the poster, “Kahaani bahut lambi hai aur bhai ke paas waqt bahut bahut kam.” (The story is too long, but the time my brother has is too little). In the poster, Alia exudes a range of emotions as she looks surprised and scared but determined to be fierce. She is ready to face whatever stands between her and her mission without hesitation. Donning black trousers, a soiled shirt, and a survival vest, Alia wields tools, indicating she is ready for her demanding quest.
