Alia Bhatt is one of the most bankable actresses Bollywood has today, and with almost all her films labelled hits, the failure of 2024’s Jigra came as a shocker for both critics and the audience. While the film was already struggling at the box office, Divya Khosla Kumar accused the makers of Alia Bhatt’s starrer of copying the plot from her film Savi.
Savi was produced by Alia’s uncle Mukesh Bhatt, who has now responded to Divya’s accusations against his niece. In a recent chat with Lehren Retro, Mukesh said, “What Divya did for publicity, I don’t know about that. But Jigra, if I am not mistaken, Mahesh had made a film for Yash Johar called Gumrah, which was inspired by Bangkok Hilton. I think that film was the inspiration behind Jigra."
