The friendship between alia bhatt and karan johar is well known. With his film Student of the Year, she made her professional debut. Since then, they have collaborated on other projects. For directors who would prefer not to cast alia bhatt as the major role, their partnership frequently becomes a source of frustration. Due to Karan's prejudice toward the Raazi actress, she has an unfair edge in dharma productions movies.
Vasan Bala, the director of Jigra and a man renowned for his original works, encountered a similar situation. His inventiveness gives his films a unique aesthetic, and in his upcoming picture, alia bhatt is anticipated to play a hitherto unseen avatar. Among the movies on which Vasan bala has worked are Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, monica O My Darling, and Gangs of Wasseypur. He is currently preparing to release Jigra on october 11th, with alia bhatt playing the major role. Vedang Raina plays her brother, whom she saves in the same story.
Vasan bala recently disclosed that karan johar gave alia bhatt access to his almost completed script for Jigra during the first pre-production phases without asking for permission. He further said that karan persuaded him to choose alia bhatt for the starring part even though he had another actress in mind! Is it possible to attribute the project's failure to live up to expectations on Karan's bias for alia Bhatt?
