Karan Johar lauded Alia Bhatt's film Darlings and congratulated the actor for being brave in her film choices. Karan also praised Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan for taking the project on.
He went on to write, "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!"
He also added, "@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!"
Karan and Alia are also working on Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani . Alia has several upcoming projects, including Heart Of Stone, which will mark her debut in Hollywood. The actor will be seen alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in the film.
