In a recent discussion between Jigra team and Anmol Jamwal, Vasan Bala revealed how the actor had only prepared a rough script with the outlining of the entire story behind Jigra. He turned up to producer Karan Johar on a call, only to later be informed that Karan had already forwarded the script to Alia Bhatt. While Vasan was still not ready with the perfect write-up and was on the initial stage of his work, this step by Karan Johar disappointed him. Vasan said, he was not at-all happy and asked Karan about why he sent it so hurriedly to Alia Bhatt, without even discussing it with him.
In the interview, Alia revealed that she said ‘YES’ to the script reading just the first half of it and seeing her previous works, she felt like it could be a cool collaboration between her and Vasan Bala, the filmmaker of Jigra Although she questioned about knwoing the second half of the script, she still felt ready to be working in the film because of the storyline it had.
