Alia Bhatt turned heads with
her stunning appearance in a red saree as she visited Durga Puja pandal,

spirit of Durga Puja. On Thursday, Ranbir Kapoor also visited the pandal and
offered prayers.

style. She is looking very beautiful and her sister Shaheen Bhatt also visited
the pandal. Today, Ajay Devgn also visited the pandal. North Bombay Sarbojanin
Durga Puja Pandal is managed by Kajol and Rani Mukerji.
Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina
starrer Jigra has finally released in theatres today. The film is clashing with
Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri’s Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. Neetu
Kapoor has shared the first review of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina’s Jigra and
is all praise for the film. The veteran actress attended the film premiere in
Mumbai on Wednesday night. She joined director Vasan Bala and daughter-in-law
Alia Bhatt at the screening.
Neetu took to her Instagram
Stories on Thursday and praised Alia’s performance. Giving the film a five-star
rating, Neetu said, “Alia Bhatt, you nailed it.”
The film revolves around
Alia, who plays Vedang Raina’s sister, who is on a mission to rescue her
brother from a foreign jail. The trailer was released last month and it showed
Alia going all out in terms of action and drama.
Speaking about Vedang, Alia
told Karan Johar and Jr NTR, “Vedang is fabulous. He is amazing. I don’t think
he knows how amazing he is. I told him when we did a very important scene,
where he was crying, that one good thing is that you cry prettily and it’s a
good thing for a Hindi film hero. He is so hardworking. He is also very
instinctive but also has some sort of prep. He reminded me a lot of Ranveer
Singh and I told him this as well.”
Ahead of the film’s release,
the team announced they are forgoing the concept of special screenings for the
press.
“After much deliberation,
we’ve unanimously decided to forgo pre-release screenings for our upcoming
films. This decision has been difficult to make, however, we believe it’s a
necessary step in ensuring that every viewer, including our friends in the media,
witness our stories as they were meant to be experienced,” the statement read
which was released earlier this week.
