Bollywood sensation Alia Bhatt is back in the headlines, and this time it's not just about her acting prowess or her personal life. The multi-talented actress has kicked off production on her upcoming project, titled 'Jigra,' under her own banner, Eternal Sunshine Productions. Directed by the acclaimed Vasan Bala, the film is slated for release on September 27, 2024. This announcement has sent waves of excitement through the Bollywood fanbase.

Alia Bhatt, known for her dedication to her craft, recently took to her Instagram handle to give fans a sneak peek into the making of 'Jigra.' She shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the film's set, including glimpses of her in her vanity van. Her post exuded enthusiasm and excitement for this new venture.

In her Instagram post, Alia Bhatt captioned the photos with, "& we're rolling... day one of bringing our Jigra to life... stay tuned as we bring to you a piece of our hearts..." The post also featured a heartwarming picture of her and her sister, Shaheen Bhatt, bonding during their time together in the vanity van.

While the plot and cast of 'Jigra' remain shrouded in secrecy, the mere announcement of this project has generated immense buzz and anticipation among fans. Alia's dedication to her craft and her ability to tackle diverse roles make 'Jigra' a project that is eagerly awaited by cinephiles worldwide.

This marks Alia Bhatt's second foray into film production, following the success of her debut production, 'Darlings,' which made its mark with an OTT release in 2022, garnering positive acclaim. With 'Jigra,' Alia continues to expand her horizons in the film industry, showcasing her talent not only in front of the camera but also behind it.

The official announcement of 'Jigra' was made by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions via their social media channels. The note read, "@aliaa08 is back to put up a courageous fight like no other for her #Jigra! JIGRA, directed by Vasan Bala, releasing in cinemas on 27th September 2024." This collaboration between Alia Bhatt and Dharma Productions further piques the curiosity of Bollywood enthusiasts.

However, the exciting news of 'Jigra' comes amidst a storm of controversy surrounding Alia Bhatt's husband, Ranbir Kapoor. He has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with the Mahadev betting application money-laundering case in Chhattisgarh. The agency has alleged that Kapoor received money from the app's promoters for endorsing their product in the virtual space.
