Alia Bhatt's latest film, Jigra, has faced mounting controversy since its release. Following accusations of having similarities with Divya Khossla Kumar's Savi and fabricated box office figures, a new allegation has surfaced. Actor Bijou Thaangjam, known for his roles in films like Mary Kom and Shivaay, has claimed that the makers of Jigra were 'discriminatory' towards him due to his Northeast Indian origin. Thaangjam has alleged that he was initially cast in a role in the film but was subsequently ignored by the production team once filming began. "Throughout the month, I was left in the dark, communicating with the casting team but receiving no real updates on when I'd actually be needed," he wrote. The actor's accusations have added to the growing list of controversies surrounding Jigra, and the film's makers have yet to respond to these claims. Divya Khossla Kumar Slams Alia Bhatt for Faking ‘Jigra’ Box Office Collections, Shares Photo of Empty Theatre and Writes, ‘We Should Not Fool the Audience’.
Bijou Thaangjam's Serious Allegations Against 'Jigra' Makers
I’m not writing this with any agenda or accusations. I just want to share the reality of how actors like me from the Northeast are often treated by big production houses. Hopefully, this sheds some light on what we face. #Jigra #JigraMovie #AliaBhatt #DivyaKhosla #VasanBala pic.twitter.com/zZBZjxOz6k
