In Jigra, Vedang Raina plays Ankur, a young man imprisoned abroad and facing brutal custodial torture. His sister, Satya, portrayed by Bhatt, takes it upon herself to free him from a high-security prison.
The trailer emphasizes Satya’s determination, showing her undergoing intense physical and mental training for the high-stakes prison break mission. As the narrative unfolds, we see flashbacks of Satya and Ankur as children, orphaned at a young age, revealing the depth of their sibling love and connection.
The film promises not just thrilling action but a deeply emotional exploration of family and resilience.
Vasan Bala, known for his unique directorial style, combines his flair for storytelling with a gripping plot in Jigra. His previous works, such as the action-comedy Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and the crime-thriller Peddlers, as well as the quirky Monica, O My Darling, have established Bala as a director with a penchant for action and dark humor.
