New Delhi: Everyone is eagerly waiting for the release of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina's film 'Jigra'. Made under the banner of Dharma Productions, the 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' actress will be seen doing powerful action for the first time in this film.

Many posters of Alia Bhatt and Vedang have been released so far from this film directed by Jigra director Vasan Bala. Even the teaser trailer of the movie was released just yesterday, which showed that Alia Bhatt can go to any extent to protect her brother. 

Alia's action in Jigra may be new, but the story of the film is quite old. According to reports, this movie is inspired by Sanjay Dutt and Sridevi's film 'Gumrah' which was released 31 years ago.

What was the story of Sanjay Dutt-Sridevi's film Gumraah?

Bollywood Hungama has claimed in one of its reports that the story of Jigra is an adaptation of the 1993 film 'Gumrah' starring Sanjay Dutt, Sridevi and Rahul Roy in the lead roles. The story of the film was about a man who can go to any extent to save his lover who is imprisoned in a foreign jail.

However, Alia Bhatt's action thriller film is not a complete adaptation of Gumraah, some major changes have been made in the movie. Like in Gumraah, the lead actor fights for his lover, but in 'Jigra' Alia Bhatt will be seen saving her brother. The story of the film is based on the brother-sister relationship.

Mahesh Bhatt directed the film 'Gumrah'

Let us tell you that Gumraah was a Dharma Productions film, which was released in the year 1993. The film was directed by Alia Bhatt's father Mahesh Bhatt.

This film, which received good response from critics, collected 5.8 crores at the box office at that time. Now, what wonders Jigra will do at the box office will be known only after the film is released on October 11.
