Vasan Bala directed movie ‘Jigra’ and produced by Karan Johar starring Alia Bhatt has outraged some controversy related to the choice of casting for the movie.
According to the controversies, Vasan Bala wasn’t happy with Alia Bhatt casting in the movie. The controversy sparked when Bala said that, “I had sent one very kaccha pakka (rough) email, a stream of consciousness draft, to Karan. Six or seven hours later, he called saying, ‘I’ve already sent it to Alia.’ I wasn’t happy because I would have at least done some spellcheck, and grammar check, written a nice hero entry. I asked, ‘Why did you do this?’ Karan said, ‘No, no, this is how it works.”
Somen Mishra took to his social media handle to clarify the rumours saying, “All kinds of pitches go to actors. If they like the space, then you go with the final script. Sometimes they say yes, and the script doesn’t work out, or the opposite happens. Only on social media does til ka taad happen. Lmao.”
Further he also added, “When Vasan, Karan, and I discussed the story, we were DYING to get Alia on board. I don’t know one filmmaker who wouldn’t. We were lucky she said yes. Vasan only meant the pitch was rough at the time.”
However, the movie Jigra is all set to release on October 11, 2024.
