Just a few days after announcing the wrap-up of her film Gangubai Kathiawadi, actress Alia Bhatt has jumped on her next project. The diva has started the shoot of her maiden-production film Darlings. Taking to Instagram, Alia shared a bunch of pictures from her vanity van getting ready for the first day of the film. She revealed that she is nervous to begin the shoot. While Darlings! will be produced by Alia, the actress claims that she will first and forever be an actor.
Alia Bhatt wrote, “day one of DARLINGS! my first film as a producer but I will always be an actor first & forever (in this case a very nervous actor) I don’t know what it is .. a night before I start a new film I get this nervous tingling energy all over my body.. i dream all night about messing up my lines..become jumpy.. reach set 15 mins before time fearing I’ll be late!”
She added, “I guess this feeling will never go away.. and it shouldn’t – because being nervous.. and feeling unsure means you really really care” She concluded the note by asking for luck from her fans. She said, “P.S – wish me luck pls (I’ll need all of it to match up to my co-actors.”
For Darlings, legendary lyricist Gulzar and music director Vishal Bhardwaj are reuniting to compose songs. The upcoming dark comedy also stars Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew. It also marks Alia Bhatt’s first feature as a producer under her banner Eternal Sunshine.
Billed as a story of a quirky mother-daughter duo, the movie is also backed by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. Writer Jasmeet K Reen, whose credits include the action-drama Force 2, is set to make her directorial debut with Darlings.
