Director Vasan Bala said he was "really not happy" when producer Karan Johar sent a "very kachha pakka (incomplete)" script of 'Jigra' to Alia Bhatt. "I would've at least done some spell check, grammar check...written some very nice hero entry," he told Tried&Refused Productions. Alia, in the same interview, said she chased Vasan for a month for complete script.
