Alia Bhatt praises ‘Jigra’ co-star Vedang Raina
She said, “We didn’t have much time to get into it, sort of take the bull by its horns immediately. We had many things to do on Day 1. Vedang is fabulous. He is amazing; I don’t think he knows how amazing he is. I remember when we were doing an emotional scene, I told him, ‘You cry very prettily,’ which is a very good thing for a Hindi film hero. He is very hardworking and instinctive. He reminded me a lot of Ranveer Singh because of his dedication and focus at the moment of the shot. He is an old soul. He’s got a lot of depth which will take him very far when it comes to drama.”
Vedang Raina made his acting debut as Reggie Mantle in Zoya Akhtar's Indian adaptation of 'The Archies', which premiered on Netflix. The film also stars Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Mihir Ahuja, Yuvraj Menda, and Dot, among others.
