Alia Bhatt’s Jigra Gets a New Release Date to Avoid Clash with Devara


Alia Bhatt’s golden streak of success continues, both in domestic and international cinema. Known for her powerful performances in films ranging from “Gangubai Kathiawad” to “Darlings,” “Brahmastra,” and “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” Alia consistently delivers commercial hits and garners critical acclaim. Her international endeavors, including the recent “Heart Of Stone,” have only broadened her already expansive career.

In recent news, Alia Bhatt has successfully concluded filming for her highly anticipated movie “Jigra,” co-starring Vedang Raina. This film, directed by Vasan Bala, has been a topic of much discussion among fans and critics alike. Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to reveal the film’s new release date and unveiled an intriguing poster for “Jigra.” The poster, featuring Alia with a backpack against a dynamic, cyberpunk-inspired backdrop of blue, purple, and pink hues, has generated significant buzz. Her caption reads, “11.10.2024 | JIGRA | See you at the movies,” underscoring the excitement surrounding the film.

The change in the release date for “Jigra” comes after the announcement from the makers of Jr NTR’s “Devara Part 1,” who revealed their new release date. Originally set to clash in theaters, “Devara Part 1” will now hit screens on September 27, 2024. To avoid this potentially conflicting release, the team behind “Jigra” swiftly rescheduled their premiere to October 11, 2024. This move, although strategic, sets up another high-profile clash with the release of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan’s “Vettaiyan,” slated for October 10, 2024.

The film “Devara Part 1,” featuring Jr NTR in the titular role, promises an expansive cinematic experience as it will be available in multiple languages including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. Joining Jr NTR are actors Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, making their Tollywood debuts. The strong supporting cast includes notable names like Prakash Raj, Srikanth, Shine Tom Chacko, and Narain, ensuring a star-studded ensemble. On Thursday, the team announced the new release date on Twitter, writing, “Sending a Warning Notice to all coasts about his early arrival. Man of Masses @Tarak9999’s #Devara in cinemas from September 27th! #DevaraOnSep27th.

.” Accompanied by a logo-free poster, they also added, “Devara mouname savaranaleni hecharika. (Devara’s silence is his command.)”

Produced by Mikkilineni Sudhakar and Hari Krishna K under the banners of NTR Arts and Yuvasudha Arts, “Devara Part 1” is poised to make a significant impact at the box office. Presented by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, the film’s distribution in the northern regions will be managed by Karan. With these strategic moves and high-profile releases, the coming months promise an intense competition at the box office.

As the anticipation builds, the film industry and fans alike are particularly interested in how these scheduling decisions will impact the performances and receptions of “Jigra” and “Devara Part 1.” Alia Bhatt’s unveiling of the new release date is in sync with her recent successes, bolstered by a creative marketing approach that keeps her audience on the edge of their seats.

The poster for “Jigra,” showcasing Alia in a role that appears energetic and adventurous, combined with a cyberpunk aesthetic, hints at a movie that is as visually engaging as it is narrative-driven. Given Alia’s track record of selecting and excelling in diverse roles, expectations are sky-high for “Jigra.”

Meanwhile, the revised release of “Devara Part 1” puts Jr NTR back in the spotlight. Known for his gripping performances, Jr NTR’s return with a grand cinematic piece is eagerly awaited. With an ensemble cast featuring Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, the film promises a yet another thrilling saga in Tollywood cinema.

The upcoming months will reveal the outcome of these strategic release decisions. Will the change in schedule for “Jigra” avoid a box-office clash with “Devara Part 1,” or will it face a stiffer challenge against Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan’s “Vettaiyan”? Only time will tell. For now, one thing is certain: fans of Indian cinema have a lot to look forward to with these high-stakes releases on the horizon.

The buzzing atmosphere around these movies highlights the excitement and competitive spirit of Bollywood and Tollywood, showcasing the remarkable talent and creativity of the Indian film industry. As Alia Bhatt continues to shine, and with Jr NTR ready to captivate audiences again, the future of Indian cinema remains as thrilling and unpredictable as ever. The clock is ticking, and the countdown to the premieres has officially begun.
