Gifted actress Alia Bhatt is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film 'Darlings' in which she'll be seen sharing screen with Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma. The film is also the first production venture for Alia who launched her production house Eternal Sunshine Productions last year.

Filmmaker Karan Johar who is a close friend and mentor to Alia, recently took to his Instagram to congratulate the entire team of 'Darlings' for making a unique and exciting film. Sharing two posters of this upcoming project, Karan wrote, "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 exceptionally solid film take it on and emerge victor victorious! So fun! So hard hitting and so engaging! All at once! Take a bow Jasmeet what a debut!!!! Can’t wait to see more of your work!”

Sharing few words of appreciation for the talented cast, Karan wrote, "@aliaabhatt @shefalishahofficial @itsvijayvarma @roshan.matthew are FANTASTIC!!! This is the best ensemble of actors I have seen in a long time! BRAVO!”

Karan concluded by saying, “Congratulations My baby girl @aliaabhatt what a brave decision to begin your producer journey with.. may the sunshine on your content decisions eternally! @gaurikhan @iamsrk @redchilliesent @_gauravverma take a BOW!! What a PROUD film to green light!!! May the force always be with you! So finally My darlings don’t miss #darlings on the 5th of August only on @netflix_in …..it’s a 5 star film!”
