Jigra actor Vedang Raina says Alia Bhatt is ‘polar opposite’ of him; reveals his playlist has THIS Ranbir Kapoor song

As an ardent fan who has been following Vedang Raina’s journey since his days as Archies’ Archie, I must say that his collaboration with Alia Bhatt in Jigra has me absolutely thrilled! The fact that they are portraying siblings in this action-thriller makes the anticipation even more intense.


Vedang Raina is gearing up to work alongside Alia Bhatt in the upcoming film, “Jigra.” Rumor has it that this movie centers on their portrayal of siblings and fans are eagerly anticipating the action-packed thriller they’ll see together. Interestingly, Vedang Raina recently mentioned that Alia is quite different from him when it comes to acting. Furthermore, he disclosed a playlist for “Jigra” featuring one of Ranbir Kapoor‘s songs from Rockstar.

As a die-hard fan, I must confess that when I read about Vedang Raina’s interview with GQ India, my heart skipped a beat! He was discussing his acting process alongside Alia Bhatt, our beloved Jigra co-star. Vedang revealed a fascinating contrast: Alia and I are like night and day as actors! Frankly, it leaves me baffled sometimes!

During our time on set, Vedang shared, “I always arrive well-prepared, creating the atmosphere with my playlist, settling into a corner to fully immerse myself in the scene. But then Alia arrives, and wow! She aces it in the first try, leaving me in awe.”

The actor from “The Archies” stated that Alia swiftly adapted to her role’s essence. Moreover, he commended her for her spot-on portrayal. Vedang shared his appreciation for the knowledge and insights he gained from her.

When asked if he had something particular he’d taken from Alia, Vedang praised her for her discipline. He said, “It isn’t until you work alongside her that you truly appreciate how effortlessly she elevates your performance as a fellow actor.” In simpler terms, what Vedang meant was that Alia skillfully improves the acting abilities of those she works with in a scene.

Additionally, he praised her for how she showed compassion towards the team members. Moreover, Vedang mentioned that many people wanted to collaborate with her not only due to her skills, but also because of her kind nature.

In Vedang’s life, music plays a significant role, and he often curates playlists for his film characters. For instance, he created a playlist for Jigra’s character that mirrored the movie’s narrative. During our chat, he disclosed that this playlist included tracks like The Beatles, Ranbir Kapoor’s The Dichotomy of Fame from Rockstar, Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead, Kuch Ankahi by Agnee, some jazz numbers, and works from Snarky Puppy and Hiatus Kaiyote.
