Amid the controversy between Divya Khossla and Alia Bhatt over their films Savi and Jigra, Divya has escalated the feud by taking a direct jab at Alia on Instagram.
Sharing a photo of an empty theater, Divya pointedly called out Alia, claiming that theaters screening Jigra are running empty.
She wrote, “Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra show. Theatre .
Not long back, Divya Khossla reacted to the similarities amid her film ‘Savi’ and Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’. She acknowledged the connection but said that each film has its own path and is thankful she explored the genre first. Savi, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Anil Kapoor, is about a housewife trying to break her husband out of a high-security prison in England, inspired by the Savitri and Satyavan story. In Jigra, Alia Bhatt’s character plans a jailbreak to rescue her brother from prison.
Divya had revealed to a news agency she too have been getting this question a lot from the media, the industry and the trade that ‘Savi’ and ‘Jigra’ are seeming very similar, the plot and everything.
Well, she would just like to say that with the love of the audience and the grace of God that ‘Savi’ has proved its worth totally on its own merits. They had a very good run in theatres and OTT too and we topped the charts in various countries.
So, she is just thankful for all the love. And yes, our film was based on jailbreak– how a simple housewife attempts a jailbreak to get her husband out of the prison. And even though ‘Jigra’ may be similar to it she feels every film has its own journey to it and sometimes two production houses can make a film on a similar plot.
