Somen Mishra clarified that Alia Bhatt’s casting in ‘Jigra’ was intentional despite the controversy that sparked off over a promotional interview, where the director claimed that he was ‘unhappy’ with Karan Johar for sending a rough draft of the film to Alia. Mishra emphasized that contrary to speculation, the team was eager to have Bhatt on-board the film to play the character Satya. ‘Jigra’ releases on October 11 with a Telugu version also planned.
