Alia Bhatt’s voiceover pledges to protect her brother, played by Vedang Raina, in a new teaser for their upcoming film Jigra, dropped by the makers on Wednesday.

“Tujhe mein kuch bhi hone nahi dungi, kabhi bhi (I will never let anything happen to you, ever),” says Alia’s character in a voiceover as an illustration of an elder sister walking to school, holding her younger brother’s hand, appears on screen.

Dropped by Alia’s Eternal Sunshine Productions on Instagram, the teaser hints at a sister’s unwavering and fearless love for her brother.

The upcoming thriller is directed by Monica, O My Darling helmer Vasan Bala.

Aditya Nanda, Yuvraj Vijan and Harssh Singh are also expected to play key roles in the film, first announced in September last year.

Jigra is the third project under Eternal Sunshine Productions after Netflix’s 2022 dark comedy Darlings and the 2024 Amazon Prime Video crime-drama series Poacher.

Jigra marks Alia’s first collaboration with director Vasan Bala. The project is co-produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

Alia, Karan, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra are credited as producers on the upcoming project.

Jigra is slated to hit theatres on October 11. The film was earlier scheduled for release on September 27. However, the release date was pushed to avoid a box-office clash with Telugu star Jr NTR's Devara.

Vedang made his acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix film The Archies last year. Alia, on the other hand, is set to headline YRF Spy Universe’s first female-led film Alpha alongside Munjya actress Sharvari Wagh.
