Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina in Jigra Pic/Instagram
The makers of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina-starrer âJigra' unveiled its teaser trailer on Sunday. The plot revolves around Alia, a protective sister, who hints at Vedang having little time. He is seen being arrested in a foreign country when Alia tries to rescue him from prison. She is helped in this mission by Manoj Pahwa and Rahul Ravindran. The film has been directed by Vasan Bala.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Alia's film is an adaptation of âGumrah' which starred Sanjay Dutt, Sridevi, Rahul Roy, and her mother Soni Razdan. A source informed the portal, "âJigra' makers decided to remake âGumrah' but with certain modifications. Two of the biggest changes they have made from the story of the original is that here it's the girl who's saving the boy. Also, instead of them being lovers, they are siblings. Interestingly, âGumrah' was directed by Mahesh Bhatt and now his daughter Alia plays the lead in its adaptation."

As the news was shared on Reddit, many took to the comments section and discussed the same. One wrote, "Sanju did rescue Sri from the false drug trafficking case. Also, there was the sibling angle with Soni Razdan having a brother in the adjacent cell and she sneaking out with Sri to take treats brought by Anupam Kher to him, which remains the most moving part of the film. I have mentioned it before on here and no wonder it's an actual article now."
Another added, "This makes me think, Alia did make her mother proud. I mean whatever she is in real life is a different thing altogether but starring in an adaptation of a movie that had her mother in a very small role and who always did small roles only but her daughter is like the star star."
