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.”
