Alia Bhatt on Jigra and Animal comparison

At the press conference in Delhi, Alia spoke about comparison happening between Jigra and Animal. She says, “I know people have been comparing the two, but there really aren’t many similarities. It’s not just about Animal or Jigra; a common theme in many films is doing something for a loved one. It’s a genre in itself, and many movies have been made on these lines. So aside from that one aspect, there aren’t any direct similarities between the two films.”

Opening up on their professional dynamics with Ranbir, she continues, “I wouldn’t say there’s any competition between us. I feel very fortunate that my husband (Ranbir Kapoor) is also my best friend and a wonderful actor. We often discuss our films and scenes with each other. I talked about Gangubai Kathiawadi and Jigra. Every time I had a confusion, I would discuss it with him and he did the same with me for Animal.”
