Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is all poised for her next release, Jigra, which has created ripples on social media on Thursday with its new set of posters.

In one of the new posters, Alia is seen as protective of her co-star Vedang Raina, who plays her brother in the film. Vedang made his debut with The Archies.

Alia wrote in the caption, "Tu mere protection mein hai (You are protected by me)."

The Vasan Bala directorial is the first film where Alia's production house Eternal Sunshine collaborated with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

The film is about a sister's love for her brother and how she would protect him.

Alia's last Bollywood film was Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, a blockbuster which was released in 2023.
