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.
