Alia and Ranbir married in April 2022. Later in the year, the couple gave birth to their daughter. They called her Raha, and they have been seen together countless times.

Meanwhile, Alia will be in charge of Jigra's workload. The film puts Alia and Vedang together for the first time. They pretend to be siblings. Alia is not only acting in the film, but also co-producing it. There are allegations that the film is a remake of Gumrah.

A source told Bollywood Hungama that Jigra adapts the 1993 film Gumrah. It starred Sanjay Dutt, Sridevi, and Rahul Roy and told the story of a man who went to extreme measures to free his fiancée, who was imprisoned in a faraway nation. Jigra creators decided to rebuild Gumrah, but with few changes. Two of the most significant alterations to the original narrative are that the female now saves the boy. Also, they are siblings rather than lovers."
