Alia Bhatt: No direct similarities between Jigra and Animal

Alia Bhatt on Monday said the only theme common between her upcoming film Jigra and her husband Ranbir Kapoor's movie Animal is that the protagonist goes to great lengths for a loved one.

The actor said she is aware of the comparisons between the two movies but there isn't much to it.

While Jigra sees a sister (Alia) defy all odds to save her jailed brother (Vedang Raina) from death, Animal had a son (Ranbir) take drastic measures to avenge those who tried to assassinate his father (Anil Kapoor).

"I know people have been comparing the two, but there really aren't many similarities. It's not just about Animal or Jigra, a common theme in many films is doing something for a loved one. It's a genre in itself. Many movies have been made on these lines. So aside from that one aspect, there aren't any direct similarities between the two films," she told reporters.
