Why 'Jigra' director Vasan Bala apologized to Shraddha Kapoor's fans
Filmmaker Vasan Bala, known for his work on Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, recently found himself in a sticky situation with actor Shraddha Kapoor's fans. The issue arose when Bala failed to acknowledge Kapoor in an appreciation post for Stree 2 a few weeks ago. However, the director has now apologized to Kapoor's fans for this oversight. This came after Kapoor praised the teaser of Bala's upcoming film Jigra, featuring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina.
Kapoor praised 'Jigra' teaser, Bala responded with apology
Kapoor shared the teaser of Jigra on her Instagram Stories and expressed her excitement to watch the film in theaters. She complimented Bhatt's performance and praised the trailer, tagging both Bhatt and Bala in her post. In response to Kapoor's praise, Bala reposted her story and wrote: "Thank you Shraddha, hope you and Siddhanth enjoy the film too." "And unrelated but I'll take this opportunity to address - sorry to your fans...Bhool chuk maaf."
Bala's omission led to backlash from Kapoor's fans
Previously, when Stree 2 started performing well at the box office, Bala had shared a shoutout on his Instagram Stories. He acknowledged the entire core team, but failed to mention Kapoor. This oversight led to a backlash from Kapoor's fans who felt that she deserved more recognition for her role in Stree 2's success. They expressed their disappointment on social media, leading to Bala's recent apology.
Bala's 'Jigra' is set for release on October 11
Meanwhile, Jigra, co-produced by Bhatt's Eternal Sunshine Productions and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, is set to hit theaters on October 11. The film also features Manoj Pahwa in a key role. The teaser has already generated considerable excitement among audiences. It tells an emotional story of a brother-sister duo who must look out for each other after their parents' demise.
