Still from Jigra
Alia Bhatt`s latest release `Jigra` directed by Vasan Bala has been in the news and favourite among netizens to discuss. The film which was among the most anticipated films of the year had a disappointing start at the box office. Even the Dussehra holiday did not do much benefit for the film that opened to largely polarised reviews. A week after its release director Vasan Bala has addressed the controversies surrounding the film during a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India.
Divya, actress and wife of T-Series head Bhushan Kumar, accused the makers of copying the plot of her last release titled `Savi`. She even attacked the makers by posting an Instagram story where she shared a picture of `Jigra` playing in an empty theatre. She also accused the lead actress of buying tickets herself and faking the box office collections. Her Instagram story led to much speculation and chatter on social media groups of cinema enthusiasts.
