Jigra: Vedang Raina reacts to box office underperformance of film co-starring Alia Bhatt and says, ‘We do all the mehnat…’

by

As a dedicated follower of the dynamic world of Bollywood, I have had the privilege to witness the journey of many promising talents. Vedang Raina, with his recent debut in Jigra alongside the enchanting Alia Bhatt, is one such name that has caught my eye.

Having spent a considerable amount of time observing and analyzing the industry, I can empathize with Vedang’s sentiments regarding the film’s underperformance at the box office. As an actor, he invested his heart and soul into Jigra, aiming to provide entertainment for the viewers. When the desired response is not met, it is natural for one to question what could have been done differently or better.

However, as they say in Bollywood, “Mazaak hai yeh industry!” (This industry is full of fun!) and I believe that Vedang’s journey is far from over. He has shown his versatility through his acting prowess and singing talent in Jigra, leaving me eager to see what he will bring to the table next.

In a lighter vein, I must add that I hope the universe listens to Vedang’s wish and sends him projects that not only pay off but also have blockbuster success written all over them! After all, who doesn’t want to see their favorite stars shine brighter than a thousand Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka?

2024 saw Vedang Raina’s first appearance on the big screen in the prison break action thriller Jigra, sharing screen time with Alia Bhatt. While the film garnered praise for its innovative concept and acting performance, it didn’t fare well financially at the box office. Now, Vedang has spoken up about the movie’s lackluster performance. He emphasized that all the effort put in was intended for audience satisfaction, and if that doesn’t materialize, one can’t help but wonder where improvements could have been made.

During a conversation with Hindustan Times, Vedang Raina discussed the impact of Jigra’s box office results on him. He explained that as an actor, one invests considerable time into a project. Vedang emphasized that his objective was for the movie to resonate positively with audiences and provide them with enjoyable entertainment.

The actor from The Archies commented, “We put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to receive validation and appreciation for our work, and we want people to enjoy it. If the audience doesn’t respond positively, it leads us to think about what could have been done better or differently.” Vedang described this approach as a ‘natural’ way of handling such situations.

Vedang Raina shared that his immersion in the film industry over the past year had given him a deeper understanding of its intricacies. He acknowledged gaining valuable insights, including constructive feedback, from Jigra. Vedang expressed his desire to grow with each project and reach a point where all his efforts would be rewarding. He planned to continue working diligently, leaving the rest in the hands of the universe.

In the movie Jigra, Vedang Raina demonstrated his musical abilities by providing vocals for the tracks “Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka” and the main theme song of the film.

In addition to Vedang Raina and Alia Bhatt playing siblings, Jigra also featured Manoj Pahwa and Rahul Ravindran in significant roles. This film is helmed by Vasan Bala. Viacom18 Studios, Dharma Productions, and Eternal Sunshine Productions have jointly presented the movie, which is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt, and Somen Mishra.
