Alia Bhatt starrer 'Jigra' has faced its fair share of controversies ahead of its release, which seems to have affected its box office performance. Despite the challenges, director Vasan Bala has garnered praise for his work.
Indian Express had published a story encouraging Karan to support his director and Vasan took to social media to share it, reassuring fans that Karan is indeed standing by him during this tumultuous time.
Alia Bhatt was the first to share the news on her social media, quickly followed by director Vasan Bala. In his repost, Vasan captured the essence of Jigra’s track "Tenu Sang Rakhna" with a heartfelt caption: “They have my back, kujj na howe. Ye sab ho jaawe no matter what.” Karan Johar then added his support by resharing the post, writing, “Always and forever.”
Recently, Divya Khosla Kumar took to Instagram to accuse Alia Bhatt and producer Karan Johar of exaggerating Jigra’s box office figures. In what appeared to be a subtle reply, Karan posted a cryptic message on his Instagram story, stating, “Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools.” Divya responded in an interview with Hindustan Times, questioning Karan's choice of words. “Is it right to call a woman a fool for pointing out unethical practices?” she asked. She added, “If this happens to me, what about those new to the industry? No one is a king here, and I won’t be treated like a subject.”
In addition to the ongoing controversies, actor Bijou ThaangJam, recognized for his roles in Mary Kom and Rocketry, has accused the producers of Jigra of discrimination against northeastern actors. He revealed that although he was selected for a role, he wasn’t provided with specific dates, causing him to miss out on other opportunities. Bijou expressed his frustration on X, stating, “I understand how big production houses operate. The director is undeniably talented, but the way they handled this entire situation was deeply unprofessional. For actors like me from the Northeast, it felt particularly dismissive, almost discriminatory.”
