Alia Bhatt's 2024 release, 'Jigra,' directed by Vasan Bala, garnered critical acclaim for her performance but struggled commercially, marking one of her lowest box office openings since 2014's 'Highway.' The film, which debuted during the Dusshera festival, accumulated ₹27.30 crore as per Sacnilk.com.

Addressing this outcome, Alia shared her perspective during a recent interaction with Jay Shetty on his podcast. She expressed, "I had a film released last year that didn’t do really 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."

'Jigra' was produced under the banners of Dharma Productions, Viacom18 Studios, and Alia's own Eternal Sunshine Productions. The narrative centers on a devoted sister, portrayed by Alia, who embarks on a perilous journey to rescue her brother, played by Vedang Raina.

Despite its underwhelming box office performance, Alia's commitment to her craft remains unwavering. She is set to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film 'Love and War,' alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
