Eight years ago, audiences were treated to a casting coup when Alia Bhatt, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Diljit Dosanjh came together for Udta Punjab. The film was notable for two major reasons: Diljit’s Bollywood debut and the on-screen reunion of Shahid and Kareena after their breakup. Beyond the stellar performances and gripping storyline, one standout aspect was the unexpected collaboration between Alia and Diljit, whose soulful track “Ikk Kudi” remains etched in our memories. Now, fans can gear up for another chart-topping hit from this incredibly talented duo!
To the excitement of fans, Alia and Diljit are reuniting for Alia’s upcoming Bollywood film Jigra, which also stars Vedang Raina as her on-screen brother. This prison-break drama is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. The buzz reached new heights this morning when Alia and Diljit teased their latest collaboration by sharing a sneak peek from the set. In the photo posted on social media, Alia is seated in a chair labeled “The said Kudi,” while Diljit’s chair humorously reads “Sings about Kudi.”
Alia captioned the post, “chairs say it all 🎙️,” sending fans into a frenzy. The comment section quickly filled with excitement, with one fan exclaiming, “I can’t wait for another banger they’re about to create 🌟🥹💛,” and another writing, “OMG woahhh. What a wholesome crossover!!! Can’t waittt🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻.” Referring to Diljit’s sold-out Dil-Luminati Tour 2024, a user commented, “While the world fights for tickets, she collabs with the man himself 🫶🏻,” while another added, “Can’t wait to experience the magic you both are gonna create🥹.”
With this exciting reunion, there’s yet another reason to eagerly await Jigra. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film is set to hit theaters on October 11.
