Vasan Bala's directorial Jigra was one of the most awaited films of 2024 starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina. However, ever since it was released in theaters, the film has been receiving mixed reviews and failed to impress at the box office as well. Bhushan Kumar's wife Divya Khossla accused Alia of showing a fake box office performance of Jigra amid allegations that the film has copied Divya starrer Savi. Now, it seems that the filmmaker has deactivated his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.

Here's what Internet thinks

Several X users stated that Bala deleted his account after getting negative vibes due to Jigra's underwhelming performance at the box office. 

After screengrabs of his 'absent' profile were shared on Reddit, one user commented, "They promoted it as an Alia Bhatt aka Lady Bachchan movie but wanted him only to take the responsibility for its failure."

Some users also questioned Karan Johar that, when the movie was being promoted, Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina - were front and center alongside producer Karan. But after the film underperformed, Vasan was the only one to give interviews.
