By Mar 6, 2025 0

Alia Bhatt’s last movie Jigra didn’t perform well at the box office. The Vasan Bala directorial starred Vedang Raina in a key role, alongside Alia. During an exclusive interaction with Jay Shetty, the actress broke her silence and reacted to the film’s failure.

While speaking about her profession, Alia noted that she has been very passionate. She mentioned that she has dreams to fulfil while keeping her vigour about her work alive. “I don’t think I’m ever comfortable, and I really like that about my mind. I had a film release last year that didn’t do really well, and that’s given me a new vigour for a new dream to try and do over. It’s something I feel very charged by. So that’s the professional dream,” she noted.

Speaking further, Alia also mentioned that she wants to enjoy many family moments, alongside working in movies. She noted that a movie not doing well makes her work harder. The actress hinted at not giving up due to one movie’s failure. Jigra‘s director Vasan Bala had also noted about the film’s box office debacle. He said, “This is why I need to analyse. Kuch toh hua hai na (Something has happened, right)? Something has happened where people have stayed away, something that they have not bought, something that they didn’t feel the need to come to the theatre. If at all any other actor decides to give their time, his or her, then you know, make it worth it.”

On the professional front, Alia is currently preparing for the releases of her two upcoming movies. She will star alongside Sharvari in ALPHA. The Shiv Rawail directorial is the first female-led film of the YRF Spy Universe. She will also star with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War. While ALPHA will release on Christmas 2025, Love & War is scheduled to release in March 2026.
