The highly anticipated trailer for Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, was unveiled on Thursday, showcasing Alia in a gripping action avatar. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film sees Alia’s character, Satya, fighting against the odds to save her brother, Ankur (played by Vedang Raina), from death row.
A Sister’s Relentless Battle
The trailer begins with a tense conversation between Satya (Alia) and her brother Ankur (Vedang), who is soon sentenced to death by electrocution within three months. Determined to protect her brother, Satya embarks on a perilous journey, putting her own life at risk. The trailer gives glimpses of Satya engaging in intense action sequences—fighting people, leaping from trees, and wielding weapons—all to secure her brother’s freedom.
As Ankur faces the harsh realities of prison life, including violent confrontations and police brutality, Satya continues her quest. The trailer’s emotional crescendo is reached when Satya meets Ankur in jail, vowing to save him. In a powerful closing statement, she says, “I never said I’m an ethical person. I’m only Ankur’s sister.”
Alia Bhatt’s Action-Packed Role
Alia Bhatt’s portrayal of Satya presents a fierce and protective sister willing to go to any length for her brother. Her transition into an “action heroine” is a highlight of the trailer, as she takes on a physically demanding role filled with high-octane stunts and raw emotion. Vedang Raina, playing the pivotal role of Ankur, faces an equally intense narrative as a wrongfully convicted man fighting for his life.

Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to share the trailer with her fans, writing, “All set? #JIGRA THEATRICAL TRAILER OUT NOW! Link in bio. See you in cinemas, 11th October.” The post immediately gained traction, with fans eagerly anticipating the film’s release.
