Shah Rukh Khan‘s next production venture was recently announced with ‘Darlings’. Darlings which stars Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Roshan Matthew and Vijay Varma will be directed by debutant Jasmeet K Reen. Darlings will also be the debut venture of Alia Bhatt as a movie producer. Darlings made the cinephiles excited from the moment it was announced. And the major reason behind it was the stellar starcast that the movie boasted. If the actors weren’t enough to grab your attention, the recent addition of Gulzar Saab and Vishal Bhardwaj might just do the job. Yes you read that correctly, the legendary duo of Gulzar and Vishal Bhardwaj are coming back together to compose the music for the upcoming Darlings.
Gulzar & Vishal Bhardwaj have previously collaborated for several of the movies and have churned out several memorable songs over the years. Omkara, Haider, Kaminey, 7 Khoon Maaf and others can be a perfect example of their work. This addition surely will work big time for the movie which already is getting bigger day by day. Darlings features the quirky story of a mother and daughter who try to navigate through crazy circumstances in their daily life while trying to find their place in the world.
Since the movie is a dark comedy ( a genre much loved by Bhardwaj) with a slice of life feel to it, the lyrics of Gulzar between the movie will be like a cherry on the cake. Couple it with the mesmerizing and catchy score by Vishal Bhardwaj, one might be in for a eargasmic treat.
Darlings is written by Jasmeet K Reen along with Parvez Shaikh. It is being jointly produced by Gauri Khan (Red Chillies Entertainment), Alia Bhatt and Gaurav Verma. The movie is scheduled to go on floors this month.
