Divya Khosla Explores Unique Storytelling In Savi Compared To Alia Bhatt's Jigra
Divya Khosla recently discussed the unique journeys films take, even when plots seem similar. She addressed comparisons between her movie 'Savi' and Alia Bhatt's upcoming 'Jigra,' both involving jailbreak themes. Divya stated, "Yes, I too have been getting this question a lot from the media, the industry, and the trade that 'Savi' and 'Jigra' are seeming very similar, the plot and everything. Well, I would just like to say that with the love of the audience and the grace of God that 'Savi' has proved its worth totally on its own merits."
Divya's thoughts extend to storytelling in cinema. She appreciates 'Savi's' unique role in her career and its success in engaging audiences globally on OTT platforms and in theatres. The film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Anil Kapoor and is inspired by Savitri and Satyavan's mythological tale. It tells of a housewife's bold attempt to free her husband from a high-security prison in England, resonating with viewers.

In contrast, Alia's 'Jigra' explores a brother-sister relationship marked by a challenging childhood. Alia's character undertakes a daring mission to rescue her brother from jail. The thematic similarities with 'Savi' have sparked discussions about originality in film plots. However, Divya highlighted each film's unique journey, asserting that similarities do not diminish 'Savi's' distinctiveness.
Delving into her career decisions, Divya shared insights about changing her name for professional reasons. She believes this change has positively influenced her career success and audience reception of her work. The success of 'Savi' affirms this decision, contributing to her professional identity.
'Savi,' directed by Abhinay Deo and produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar, and Krishan Kumar under T-Series and Vishesh Films, premiered on May 31. Its captivating narrative and performances captured moviegoers' attention.
Reflecting on 'Savi' compared to 'Jigra,' Divya emphasizes storytelling complexity in cinema. Her gratitude for exploring such an engaging genre highlights her passion for filmmaking. Despite discussions on plot similarities, Divya remains focused on 'Savi's' unique journey, celebrating its achievements and global audience appreciation.
