Jigra controversies

Since its release, the film has faced a number of controversies, including the negativity surrounding Alia’s casting in the movie. Actor-filmmaker Divya Khossla Kumar recently commented that the film, a jailbreak drama, resembled the plot line of her last film, Savi. She had also accused Alia of manipulating the box office numbers of Jigra. Divya alleged that Alia purchased tickets for her own movie and announced a "fake collection" to deceive the public.

Actor Bujou Thaangjam has also accused the casting team behind Jigra of unprofessional behaviour. According to the actor, he was asked to be available in December to shoot for the movie, but never received a follow-up call. The actor, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), said he didn’t want to stir up controversy, but thought it was time to speak up.
