Actor Divya Khosla Kumar has escalated her feud with Alia Bhatt over similarities between their films “Savi” and “Jigra”. Khosla Kumar shared an Instagram story showing an empty theater for “Jigra” and accused Bhatt of artificially inflating box office numbers.
The controversy began due to the striking similarities between the two films’ jailbreak plots. Both movies revolve around a housewife planning a jailbreak to free a family member from prison. Khosla Kumar’s “Savi” features Harshvardhan Rane and Anil Kapoor, while Bhatt’s “Jigra” stars Vedang.
