Jigra' revolves around a devoted sister who embarks on a harrowing journey to rescue her brother (played by Vedang Raina). A recreated version of the classic song 'Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka' is also included in the teaser, showcasing Vedang Raina's vocal talent.

Soon after the negative reviews started pouring in and cinema halls started cancelling the shows owing to low occupancy, Kanagan shared a post on her Instagram Stories that read, "When you destroy woman-centric films and make sure that they don't work, they don't work, even when you make them. Read that again. Thanks."

Produced under the banner of Dharma Productions and presented by Viacom18 Studios and Eternal Sunshine Productions, Jigra is co-written by Debashish Irengbam and Vasan Bala.
