Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah will take audiences on a thrill ride in their upcoming film, Darlings. The preview of their long-awaited project has all the elements that would make for an exciting journey of dreams and desires, and how far these two women will go to make things work in their favor. The Darlings teaser shows us the world of Alia and Shefali, a mother-daughter duo who live humble lives.
But things are not the same as they seem in their environment. They are women who would do anything to survive in this world of men. Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew seem smitten with each other, but are wary of each other's presence in their lives, unaware that Alia and Shefali are playing them as pawns in the larger scheme of things.
The two female leads are under the lens of an apparent murder. And their argument is that they are innocent since they simply killed the victim "in her imagination". From witty to eccentric, the two actors are ready to give us an energetic performance. The teaser has Alia telling the famous story of a scorpion and a frog crossing a river.
She is hinting at the basic nature of a creature, which remains the same in any situation. Darlings is billed as a dark comedy that explores the lives of a mother-daughter duo trying to find their place in Mumbai. They fight against all odds as they search for courage and love in exceptional circumstances. Produced by Gauri Khan, Alia Bhatt and Gaurav Verma,
