'I BELIEVE MOVIES ARE ETERNAL'

'Shah Rukh Khan called me and said, I usually don't co-produce, but I will do it with you.'

- 

'It will be one for the memories.

After Gangubai Kathiawadi, Alia Bhatt has more exciting films in store for us: Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva; Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, and of course, Darlings.

"I believe the warmth that movies and the cinema give us is eternal," Alia says at the trailer launch.

Were you on the verge of becoming a producer and waiting for that one script or did you become a producer because this script came to you?

It happened at the same time.

Darlings came to me and when the narration started, I thought, 'Okay, now let's see where this leads to because I didn't know what the film was about.

Actually, in 2019, when I met Jasmeet (K Reen, Director) and Gaurav (Verma, Producer), I had a very busy schedule.

But I had this thing that I will hear every narration or read every script because you never know...

Cut to the story, it started like a normal story, and suddenly it shifted gears and I was like from here, I was here!

I was so surprised and I am very rarely surprised.

So I was like okay, okay, one second, we have to do this.
