In the viral video, Alia was heard saying, "My dearest Samantha, you are a hero on and off-screen. I have so much admiration for your talent, for your resilience, for your strength.

She also revealed how Samantha took just 6.5 seconds to accept the invite to the event.The event was graced by director Trivikram Srinivas and Rana Daggubati. Alia asked the director Trivikram Srinivas to cast her and Samantha together in a film.
"And over here on this stage, not doing this for promotion, I genuinely mean it. Trivikram sir I think Samantha and I should be in a film written and directed by you. They say usually actresses compete with each other and all of that. But there's no such thing. I am so, so grateful that today I have a pan India superstar here to support my film and say such kind words for my film," she added.
Recently, the makers of Jigra treated fans with an action-packed trailer. In the trailer, Alia Bhatt takes on the role of Satya, a fiercely devoted sister who is determined to rescue her brother, Ankur, played by Vedang Raina.
