In an earlier interview, Alia said that Vedang reminded her "a lot of Ranveer Singh" with whom she shared screen space in Karan Johar's directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy. Alia said, "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."
Jigra marks Alia Bhatt's second production venture after the 2022 Netflix thriller-comedy Darlings. She is co-producing this project with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The film has been directed by Vasan Bala.
