Alia began filming for the project on Saturday and shared multiple pictures from the first day of shoot. "Day one of 'Darlings' my first film as a producer but I will always be an actor first and forever (in this case a very nervous actor). I don't know what it is... A night before I start a new film I get this nervous tingling energy all over my body.

"I dream all night about messing up my lines... become jumpy... Reach sets 15 mins before time fearing I'll be late. I guess this feeling will never go away... And it shouldn't -because being nervous and feeling unsure means you really really care," she wrote. Shah Rukh also wished her as she began the shoot.

The film also stars Roshan Mathew and Vijay Varma. Varma, who previously starred with Bhatt in Gully Boy, said he was thrilled to be back on a set again and for a film he has been excited about "for the longest time".

"Darlings in production now. Wish me luck because I'll need it to match the roaring talents of my fellow artists on this one," he wrote.
