Director Vasan Bala Miffed by Karan Johar’s Script Sharing Antics with Alia Bhatt for ‘Jigra’: “Really? Thanks for Asking!”

Hey there, Bollywood aficionados! It’s your girl, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, back with another spicy scoop from the glittering world of Bollywood. Buckle up, because today we’re diving into the latest drama surrounding Alia Bhatt and her upcoming movie, ‘Jigra’. Let’s spill some tea, shall we?

So, our darling Alia Bhatt is all over the headlines these days, thanks to her upcoming flick ‘Jigra’, which hits the theaters on October 11th. But guess what? Word on the street is that she wasn’t director Vasan Bala’s first choice for the film. Yup, you heard that right! Apparently, when producer Karan Johar sent the script to Alia, Vasan was not exactly doing cartwheels of joy.

During a candid chat with the folks at Tried and Refused Productions, Vasan Bala spilled the beans. He sent a rough draft of the script to KJo, only to get a call from him a few moments later. The ever-so-excited Karan blurted out that he’d already shared it with Alia. Vasan was left speechless, and not in a good way. He quipped, “If I’d known Karan was going to send it to Alia, I would’ve at least checked the grammar and spelling!” 😂 Oh, Vasan, we feel your pain!

Now, why did Karan go rogue and share the script without a heads-up? When Vasan confronted him, Karan shrugged it off, saying, “Oh, this is how things roll here.” Classic KJo, am I right? A month later, Alia gave birth to her adorable daughter Raha, and then they all sat down to discuss the story. Vasan confessed he had to finish the rest of the script in the car on his way to the meeting. Talk about pressure!

Alia, who was present during the interview, chimed in, saying she loved the story from the get-go. She was hooked right from the first part, but even our beloved Alia had her doubts. She thought Vasan might have someone else in mind for the role. Of course, Vasan denied it all. Oh, the drama!

And in case you’re wondering about the movie itself, ‘Jigra’ stars Alia Bhatt alongside Vedang Raina, who plays her brother. It’s a heartwarming tale centered around sibling love. But hold onto your popcorn because it’s set to clash with Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri’s ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ on October 11th. 🍿✨

Nisha’s Nutshell
In Bollywood, your script might end up with a superstar before you even check for typos. But hey, that’s just another day in the glamorous, unpredictable world of B-Town! Moral of the story? Always be ready for the unexpected and maybe, just maybe, double-check your emails before sending them to KJo. 😜
