Amidst criticism and accusations of box office number manipulation surrounding Alia Bhatt's latest film Jigra, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has come out in support of the actress and the film. Taking to her Instagram story, Samantha praised Alia's performance, calling her a "tigress" and commending her brave choices.
Samantha wrote, "@aliaabhatt you tigress! A performance so feisty and throbbing with life that I couldn't take my eyes off you." She also appreciated director Vasan Bala's unique storytelling and Vedang Raina's talent, stating, "@vasanbala you've made a film so unique... @vedangraina what a talent! Going to be looking out for your work."
Samantha's endorsement comes after actor-director Divya Khosla criticized Jigra, sharing a photo of an empty theater and accusing the makers of fake collection announcements. However, Samantha's support extends beyond social media, as she attended a promotional event for Jigra in Hyderabad.
Jigra, released on October 11, has faced criticism and controversy, but Samantha's praise highlights Alia's impressive performance and the film's unique storytelling. With mixed reviews and ongoing debate, Jigra's box office performance remains a topic of discussion
