Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’ has finally been released in theatres and has been getting a good response from the audience. The movie raised eyebrows before its release due to its similarity with Divya Khossla’s ‘Savi.’ Divya has now called out Alia and the makers of ‘Jigra’ for allegedly buying their film’s tickets and showing fake collections. She also posted a picture of an empty theatre. 

Sharing the picture of an empty theatre on her Instagram story, Divya wrote, “Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra show. Theatre was totally empty … all theaters going empty every where. #Aliabhatt me sach mein Bahut #Jigra hai.. khud hi tickets karide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent. #weshdnotfooltheaudience #truthoverlies #HappyDussehra Х (sic).”

In an earlier interview with IANS, Divya spoke about the similarity between the plots of ‘Savi’ and ‘Jigra’. She said, “Yes, I too have been getting this question a lot from the media, the industry and the trade that ‘Savi’ and ‘Jigra’ are seeming very similar, the plot and everything. Well, I would just like to say that with the love of the audience and the grace of God that ‘Savi’ has proved its worth totally on its own merits.” 

She added, “We had a very good run in theatres and OTT too and we topped the charts in various countries. So, I’m just thankful for all the love. And yes, our film was based on jailbreak– how a simple housewife attempts a jailbreak to get her husband out of the prison. And even though ‘Jigra’ may be similar to it I feel every film has its own journey to it and sometimes two production houses can make a film on a similar plot.”
