Alia Bhatt is gearing up for the release of her upcoming movie Darlings, co-starring Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma. Along with the acting, the actress is also co-producing the film with her Dear Zindagi co-star Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. Recently, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Alia revealed that she is "relieved" as her co-producer Gauri Khan "loved" her movie Darlings. She added that Gauri Khan rarely likes anything, but when she does, then it's a "big win". Darlings will mark Alia Bhatt's first project as a producer.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Alia Bhatt said, "We saw it in a larger group and the reaction was really amazing. I was very happy that Gauri loved it. I was like when Gauri likes my movies, I feel very grateful. It is a very rare thing. She doesn't like anything. Even though she is a producer of the movie, the fact that she loved it, I feel so relieved. I was most excited. I said that also when they called me and even Shah Rukh agreed that if Gauri likes something, it's a big win."
