As she begins readings for Alia Bhatt’s maiden production Darlings, Shefali Shah relieved to bag a funny film after a spate of serious roles

Shefali Shah and Alia Bhatt
Busy moving from one project to another, Shefali Shah is working at a frenetic pace, but she has no complaints. The actor has not only resumed the shoot of 'Human', but has also begun workshops for 'Darlings', which sees her sharing space with Alia Bhatt.
Her attachment to the film is evident as she begins the chat by saying, “Darlings is a fantastic script. Jasmeet [K Reen, director] is clear about what she wants. Alia, Vijay [Varma] and the rest of the cast have been doing readings. Thank God it wasn’t over a Zoom call, because I find it impersonal. [In our reading], we have reached that stage where we are going [above and beyond] the written word. As an artiste, it’s fun when you let the script go, and keep [improvising].” The drama was originally slated to roll in February. “We lost two months because of the lockdown. 'Darlings' will go on floors anytime now; we will shoot in a bio-bubble.”
