Manipur-based actor Bijou Thaangjam, who has been a part of projects like 'Mary Kom', 'Shivaay', and 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' to name a few, has accused the makers of Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Jigra' of discrimination after they locked him in for a role and then went MIA causing him to lose out on other projects. 

I’m not writing this with any agenda or accusations. I just want to share the reality of how actors like me from the Northeast are often treated by big production houses. Hopefully, this sheds some light on what we face. #Jigra #JigraMovie #AliaBhatt #DivyaKhosla #VasanBala pic.twitter.com/zZBZjxOz6k
