Alia Bhatt recently delighted her fans with the official announcement of her upcoming film, complete with title and release date. Alia is going to play a dual role in the film ‘Jigra’, not only as the lead actress but also as the film's producer. According to Film Companion, Alia shared her thoughts on entering the filmmaking industry, saying, “I believe stories are everywhere, and stories are everything! I turned producer with Eternal Sunshine to tell some of these stories, ones that evoke emotions and leave an impact. Our first production, Darlings, got so much love that it was exciting and overwhelming at the same time.”
