Alia Bhatt’s much-awaited action film Jigra is all set to release on October 11, where she steps out of her usual genres to showcase a new action-packed side. While fans are excited to see her in a never-seen-before avatar, her journey at the box office won’t be without hurdles. On the same day, Kannada superstar Dhruva Sarja’s big-budget action film Martin will also hit the big screens, creating a major box-office clash.
Alia Bhatt’s Action Debut in Jigra
Known for her performances in romantic dramas and serious films, Jigra is Alia Bhatt’s first action-packed role, and her fans are eagerly awaiting to see her in this new genre. Directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Jigra tells the story of a sister willing to go to any lengths to protect her brother, played by Vedang Raina. The trailer has already created excitement among fans, with Alia’s powerful performance making headlines.
Martin – A Kannada Action Extravaganza
On the other side of this box-office battle, Dhruva Sarja, known as the “Action Prince” of South cinema, stars in the high-budget action film Martin. Directed by AP Arjun, this film is being touted as one of the biggest releases from the Kannada industry after the KGF series. With a massive budget of Rs 150 crore, Martin is expected to be a spectacle filled with powerful action scenes. The film will be released in six languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Bengali, making it a pan-India release.
Who Will Come Out on Top?
While Jigra has the advantage of Alia Bhatt’s star power in Bollywood, Martin promises to be a larger-than-life action film. Dhruva Sarja, although not as widely recognized in Hindi cinema, has gained a strong fan base in the South. Whether Martin can perform well in the Hindi market will depend on word of mouth and critical reviews in the coming days.
A Promising Battle at the Box Office
Although both films cater to different genres, the audience’s response will ultimately decide the box-office fate of these two films. With Alia Bhatt’s Jigra poised for a powerful action-packed performance and Dhruva Sarja’s Martin aiming to take Kannada cinema to greater heights, fans can expect an exciting clash at the box office.
