Actor Alia Bhatt is all set to launch the trailer of her upcoming film Darlings. Ahead of the launch, Alia took to Instagram to share pictures of her bright new look for her first public appearance since pregnancy announcement.
The yellow, bell-shaped dress hid Alia’s baby bump as she posed in its swathes of fabric. She tied her hair in a ponytail and wore minimal makeup. Sharing the photos, she wrote, “It’s DARLINGS day.” Alia made her pregnancy announcement last month. While her husband Ranbir Kapoor has talked a bunch about the baby, the trailer launch might finally bring the opportunity for Alia to talk about becoming a mother.
Darlings is a Netflix dark comedy also starring Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma. Alia and Vijay play a married couple that gets caught up in a bit of trouble. Helmed by Jasmeet K Reen, Darlings explores the lives of a mother-daughter duo trying to find their place in Mumbai, seeking courage and love in exceptional circumstances while fighting against all odds.”
Produced by Gauri Khan, Alia Bhatt and Gaurav Verma, Darlings will be out on Netflix on August 5, 2022. Excited about the film’s digital release, Alia said, “Darlings holds a very special place in my heart, it’s my first film as a producer that too with Red Chillies. We are very proud and happy how the film has shaped up and we hope it will entertain and engage audiences the world over.”
Alia has already got the blessings of Karan mentor Johar with her. Sharing a montage of two posters of Darlings Karan wrote on social media recently, “A debut director so assured that she sucks you into the vortex of #Darlings like a bonafide veteran! To balance humour (dark and conversational ) with a sensitive subject is a massive challenge in itself but the team of this nuanced noir and the exceptionally solid film takes it on and emerges victorious! So fun! So hard-hitting and so engaging! All at once!”
