Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina are teaming up for the first time in the upcoming movie Jigra, where they play siblings. The pair has been heavily involved in promoting the action-packed thriller over the past few days. Recently, they shared a touching reel on Instagram featuring their latest song, “Tenu Sang Rakhna,” where they describe each other as ‘ghar’ (home). The reel is bound to warm your heart with their strong sibling connection.

On October 4, 2024, Alia and Vedang posted the reel on Instagram, and it quickly grabbed attention. The video starts with Alia walking on a rooftop, dressed in a white T-shirt featuring a drawing of siblings. She approaches Vedang, who’s wearing a matching black T-shirt. Both tees have the word ‘घर’ (home) written on the back in Hindi. The two then share a warm embrace while singing along to the emotional new track, “Tenu Sang Rakhna,” from Jigra. The caption on their post read, “घर (heart hands emoji) Who’s your jigra? #Jigra in cinemas 11th October. #TenuSangRakhna.”

The song, which debuted on social media platforms yesterday, has been well-received for its soothing melody. Composed by Achint Thakkar and penned by Varun Grover, the track features the vocals of Arijit Singh, Anumita Nadesan, and Achint Thakkar, further adding to its emotional appeal.

Ahead of its big screen release on October 11, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given Jigra a U/A rating. The film’s run time has also been revealed. As per the CBFC website, Jigra has been given the U/A certification and has a run time of 155 minutes. This means the film has a duration of 2 hours and 35 minutes. Alia Bhatt is headlining the film and co-produced this Vasan Bala directorial venture with Karan Johar.

In the upcoming movie, Alia and Vedang play siblings, and their chemistry is already getting praise from the audience. The trailer starts with Alia Bhatt’s character receiving a late-night call, informing her that her brother, Ankur (played by Vedang Raina), has been arrested. Confused and worried, she asks him if he’s done anything wrong and if his blood tests will be clean. One then sees Ankur in a courtroom in a foreign country, unable to understand the language, as he’s taken into custody.

Determined to save her brother, Alia sets off on a mission, desperate to see him. She asks if hurting herself would force the authorities to let her visit him, but she’s repeatedly denied access. We watch as she travels to the country where he’s being held and begins her fight to get him released. The trailer picks up with intense action as Alia performs daring stunts, evading guards and taking extreme measures to save her brother, who is being tortured in jail. As she faces roadblocks at every turn, she refuses to give up.

In an earlier interview with The Indian Express, Alia Bhatt shared her reason behind choosing Jigra, where she’s on a mission to free her brother, played by Vedang Raina, while he’s stuck in a foreign jail. She said, “When Jigra came to me, I was going through my most tigress, protective phase. It is possibly why I went mad about the material. It really, really spoke to me. Maybe it would have spoken to me prior as well, but it spoke to me very differently. It hit a different chord. Maybe something else must have come out of that. It is not like I can measure or mould that, but motherhood does make a difference.”
