Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina are set to captivate audiences with their powerful performances in the action-packed film Jigra, which has already become one of the most anticipated releases since its announcement. Ahead of the film’s release on October 11, the makers are gearing up to drop a soulful acoustic track, ‘Tenu Sang Rakhna,’ along with its music video. Alia Bhatt gave fans a sneak peek by sharing a teaser on social media.
In the brief teaser shared on Wednesday, we catch glimpses of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, portraying a deep sibling bond over the years. The teaser concludes with a touching moment as Alia hugs Vedang, with the song “Tenu Sang Rakhna” beginning to play. Alia captioned the post, “Kujj na howe, ya sab ho jaawe – tenu sang rakhna! In the voice of Arijit Singh & Anumita Nadesan, #TenuSangRakhna song out tomorrow! #Jigra releasing in Hindi & Telugu – in cinemas 11th October.”

In the meantime, the makers have also released the film’s trailer. It begins 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 concerned, she asks if he’s done anything wrong or if his blood tests will be clean. The scene then shifts to Ankur in a foreign courtroom, struggling to understand the language as he’s taken into custody.
Determined to save her brother, Alia embarks on a mission, willing to do whatever it takes. She even contemplates self-harm in a bid to force the authorities to let her visit him, but her requests are repeatedly denied. As the trailer escalates, we see Alia perform daring stunts, evading guards and facing obstacles at every step as she fights to save her brother, who is being tortured in jail. Despite the constant challenges, she refuses to give up.
In a separate interview, director Vasan Bala revealed his frustration with how the film’s script was sent to Alia Bhatt. Speaking to Tried and Refused Productions, Bala said, “I had written a very kachha pakka email, stream of consciousness thoughts… sent it to Karan, and 6-7 hours later, he called saying that I have already sent it to Alia, and I was really not happy with it.”
“I was like I would have at least done some spell check, grammar check, hygiene, written some very nice hero entry… That email was sent and I asked Karan, ‘Why did you do this?’ He said ‘No, no this is how it works.’ Then he said we’ll meet in a couple of days,” he recalled. Alia herself mentioned that she liked the film from the first half alone.
