Divya's thoughts on Savi's success

Divya expressed gratitude for the positive response to Savi, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Anil Kapoor. Inspired by the tale of Savitri and Satyavan, the film follows a housewife's attempt to break her husband out of a high-security prison in England, resonating with audiences in theatres and on OTT platforms.

Divya said, “I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the similarities between Savi and Jigra. While both films may appear similar, Savi has proven its worth on its own merits. We had a great run in theatres, and it’s a blessing to have topped the charts in many countries.”

Alia Bhatt's Jigra and the comparisons

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt's Jigra focuses on a brother-sister duo, with Alia’s character attempting to break her brother out of prison. The teaser hints at an emotional journey, much like Savi's intense plot. Despite the apparent overlap in themes, Divya believes that it’s common for two films to share a similar premise, but they follow different paths in execution.

“Every film has its own journey,” Divya remarked. “I’m just grateful I had the chance to explore this genre first and bring our story to the screen.”

Directed by Abhinay Deo and produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar, and Krishan Kumar, Savi had its theatrical release on May 31.
