the
actress
has
now
announced
her
first
project
titled
Darlings
under
this

this
black

statement,
"I
am
really
excited
to

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

The

begins
with
a
statutory
warning
-
a
reminder
that
offending
women
can
be
very
dangerous
for
your
health!
Darlings
marks
the
directorial
debut
of
Jasmeet
K
Reen.
Talking
about
it,
she
said,
"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
anything
more
and
now
I
can't
wait
to
get
on
the
floor!"
Darlings
is
touted
to
be
a
unique
story
of
a
quirky
mother-daughter
duo
navigating
through
crazy
circumstances
as
they
try
to
find
their
place
in
the
world.
The
dark
comedy
is
set
in
Mumbai
against
the
backdrop
of
a
conservative
lower
middle-class
neighbourhood
and
traces
the
lives
of
these
two
women
as
they
find
courage
and
love
in
exceptional
circumstances.
Written
by
Parveez
Sheikh
and
Jasmeet,
the
film
is
slated
to
go
on
floors
this
month.
