Alia Bhatt is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Jigra. The actress recently shared a new Instagram post featuring her Udta Punjab co-star, Diljit Dosanjh. In the picture, both are seated on chairs with special messages written on the back. Diljit's chair reads, “Sings about Kudi,” while Alia's chair says, “The said ‘Kudi'.” This playful reference brings back memories of the soulful track Ikk Kudi sung by Diljit in Udta Punjab. Later, Alia later showcased her singing skills in the female version of the song.
In the photo, the title Jigra is displayed in LED lights at a height. Alia stuns in an all-black outfit, while Diljit looks dashing in a contrasting all-white ensemble. In her caption, Alia tagged Diljit and wrote, “Chairs say it all.”
Released in 2016, Udta Punjab also featured Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor. The film directed by Abhishek Chaubey is based on drug abuse in Punjab.
