Mumbai: National Award winner Alia Bhatt is set to star in and produce ‘Jigra’, a film directed by Vasan Bala, the makers said recently.

Backed by ‘Dharma Productions’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine Productions’, the movie will hit the screens on September 27, 2024.

Karan Johar’s ‘Dharma Productions’ shared the film announcement on its official ‘X’ page.

“Alia Bhatt is back to put up a courageous fight like no other for her jigra! ‘Jigra’, directed by Vasan Bala, is releasing in cinemas on September 27, 2024,” the banner said in the post.

‘Jigra’ marks Bhatt’s second production venture via ‘Eternal Sunshine Productions’ after 2022’s ‘Darlings’, which was released on ‘Netflix’. She was last seen in the streamer’s ‘Heart of Stone’, her Hollywood debut.

From debuting in Dharma Productions’ 2012 film ‘Student of the Year’ to now producing a film with the studio, Bhatt said life has come full circle for her.

“Every day is a different day - exciting, challenging and a little scary - not just as an actor but also as a producer as we bring this film to life and I cannot wait to share more as we move forward. ‘Jigra’ will be in cinemas on September 27, 2024,” she wrote on social media.

Bala, known for ‘Monica, O My Darling’ and ‘Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota’, penned a description of the film on his official ‘Instagram’ account.

“She made a promise and she will fulfill it - whatever the obstacle, whatever the cost,” the filmmaker wrote.

Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt and Somen Mishra are credited as producers on the upcoming project.
