Alia Bhatt Reacts To Jigra Box Office Failure

Alia Bhatt's and Vedang Raina's 'Jigra' movie, which was released in theatres last year, failed to perform well at the box office and now the actress has reacted to it.

Recently, on a Podcast Show with Jay Shetty, Alia Bhatt indirectly hinted at Jigra's failure. Alia revealed that when a film does not perform as expected, she channels it into a “new dream” and starts over.

Alia Bhatt said, “I'm a very passionate actor, professional, producer. I'm passionate about that. I've dreams about my work, which I don't think ever end. I don't think I am ever comfortable, and I like that about my mind. I had a film released last year that didn't do well, and that's given me a new vigour for a new dream to try and do over. It's something I feel very charged by. So that's the professional dream."

On a personal note, Alia Bhatt wishes to spend more time with her family. She said, “I think, again, to just soak up as many moments as I can with my family with my daughter and, if possible this year, take a solo trip." Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala, tells the tale of siblings Satya (Alia Bhatt) and Ankur (Vedang Raina). When Ankur is falsely accused of drug possession in a foreign location, Satya embarks on a seemingly impossible mission to rescue him. 

In an interview with Fever FM, he said, “It's my responsibility to deliver box office because we are in the business of filmmaking also. This is why I need to analyze. Kuch toh hua hai na (Something has happened, right)? Something has happened where people have stayed away, something that they have not bought, something that they didn't feel the need to come to the theater. If at all any other actor decides to give their time, their or her, then you know, make it worth it."
