Alia Bhatt is hard at work promoting her upcoming film Jigra, which also stars Vedang Raina. She discussed her experience working with Vedang during a recent chat with Jr NTR and filmmaker Karan Johar, as they play brother and sister in the movie. Alia commended Vedang for his work ethic and shared that he brought to mind her Gully Boy co-star, Ranveer Singh.

According to Alia, “Vedang is fabulous. He is amazing. I don’t think he knows how amazing he is. I told him when we did a very important scene, where he was crying, that one good thing is that you cry prettily and it’s a good thing for a Hindi film hero. He is so hardworking. He is also very instinctive but also has some sort of prep. He reminded me a lot of Ranveer Singh and I told him this as well.”

The actress also applauded the young actor for his dedication and focus and revealed that is he is a really good singer with deep rooted and centered soul.

The movie is helmed by Vasan Bala and backed by Karan’s Dharma Productions.
