The diva had revealed that the thunderous response to Darlings left her both excitement and overwhelmed. She added that within a year of the film's release, they were ready with another story of courage and determination and decided to name it Jigra.

"Our first production, Darlings got so much love that it was exciting and overwhelming at the same time. And just a little over a year later, we are ready to launch our second production—Jigra, a beautiful story of courage, passion and determination. I hope to consistently support compelling narratives that are authentic, and enduringly timeless and work with brilliant creative minds to bring them alive," she said in an interview.
