The clip begins with Satya (Alia) receiving a call from her brother Ankur (Vedang). She asks him a bunch of questions and tells him not to worry. The next scene shows Ankur inside a court, where the judge orders his "death by electrocution in three months". Later, Satya also asks her friend if her brother will be allowed to meet her in a life-and-death situation as she holds a knife to her wrists.

Alia's Satya is a protective sister to Ankur

As the trailer proceeds, Satya is seen fighting people, jumping from trees, and eating voraciously as she travels by air. She is also seen atop a vehicle with weapons in her hand. Ankur, on the other hand, was seen hitting a person and being strip-searched by the police. He was also seen beating up the cops.

Several action scenes also follow. Satya is seen getting emotional as she finally meets Ankur in jail. The video ends with Satya saying, “I never said I'm an ethical person. I'm only Ankur's sister.” Taking to her Instagram, Alia shared the trailer. She wrote, "All set? #JIGRA THEATRICAL TRAILER OUT NOW! Link in bio. See you in cinemas, 11th October."
