Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina of ‘Archies’ fame have stirred high anticipation with their upcoming release, ‘Jigra’, slated initially for September 27. However, to avoid a clash with Jr NTR’s ‘Devara’, the release has been rescheduled to October 11.

The decision to postpone ‘Jigra’ was promptly announced following the alteration in the release date of Jr NTR’s ‘Devara Part 1’. Originally set for September 27, ‘Devara’ now avoids a theatrical face-off with Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’.
