Headlined by Alia Bhatt, helmed by Vasan Bala, and produced by Karan Johar, Jigra has seen a disappointing run at the box office in its first week.

Jigra, Alia Bhatt’s highly anticipated solo release of 2024, has struggled to meet box office expectations. Despite initial excitement, the film’s performance has been underwhelming, with collections continuing to dip during the weekdays after a lackluster opening weekend.

Karaj Johar co-produced the film along with Alia Bhatt and we have come to know that Jigra was made on a budget of Rs 80 crores as per the news. On the other hand, Alia Bhatt has also charged a bomb for the film and the news is that Alia was paid 15 crores as her fee. This is a big number and huge for a female lead in India.

Divya told the publication, "When I speak up, Mr Karan Johar uses derogatory language to shut me down. Is it right to call a woman a fool for pointing out unethical practices? If this happens to me, what about those new to the industry?

In a heated exchange that has caught the attention of Bollywood and the entertainment industry at large, Divya Khosla Kumar, wife of producer Bhushan Kumar, has publicly criticized Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt for their involvement in the recent film Jigra.

Actor-director Divya Khossla talks to HT City at length, on the Jigra-Savi controversy, and filmmaker Karan Johar's cryptic Instagram story about ‘fools’.
