Alia Bhatt begins preparation for 'Darlings'

Actor Alia Bhatt has started her preparation for Shah Rukh Khan's next home production film ''Darlings'', which also stars Shefali Shah. Billed as a story of a quirky mother-daughter duo, ''Darlings'' is set in Mumbai against the backdrop of a conservative lower-middle-class neighborhood, the film traces the lives of two women as they find courage and love in exceptional circumstances.

The 28-year-old actor took to Instagram Stories to share a picture of the script.

''Prep,'' Bhatt captioned the post.

The dark-comedy, which marks Bhatt's foray into film production, is the directorial debut of writer Jasmeet K Reen.

The film also stars Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew.

Besides ''Darlings'', Bhatt will be seen in Ayan Mukerji's ''Brahmastra'', Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed ''Gangubai Kathiawadi'' and S S Rajamouli's ''RRR''.
