Alia Bhatt & Vijay Varma collaborate for a dark comedy in Darlings

As suggested by reports, Darlings is a unique story of a quirky mother-daughter duo going through crazy circumstances as they try to find their place in the world. Touted to be a dark comedy, the backdrop of the film is a conservative lower middle-class neighbourhood. The story traces the lives of these two women as they find courage and love in exceptional circumstances. The location of the film is Mumbai.

The film comes with its own statutory warning – a reminder that offending women can be very dangerous for your health!

Many people will be debuting with Darlings.  Jasmeet K Reen will be debutiing as a director and Alia Bhatt will be co-producing a film for the first time with Eternal Sunshine Productions.

Speaking about her directorial debut, Jasmeet says, “With the brilliant Alia and Shefali portraying the mother-daughter duo, along with exceptionally talented Vijay (Varma) and Roshan (Mathew) we have a dream cast and the perfect ‘partners in crime’ if I can call them that. We couldn’t have asked for anytfilm hing more and now I can’t wait to get on the floor!”

Speaking about acting and producing the film, Alia Bhatt says, “I am really excited to be part of Darlings; it’s a powerful story with a lot of humour and doses of dark comedy. I am thrilled to have Darlings as my first film as producer, that too in collaboration with my favourite, Shah Rukh Khan and Red Chillies.”
