Review by Malaika Arora Darlings of Alia Bhatt: “What brilliant performances”
On August 5, Netflix released the movie Darlings starring Alia Bhatt. Along with Vijay Varma, Shefali Shah, and Roshan Mathew, the dark comedy has the support of Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. On Tuesday, Malaika Arora gushed about the movie and its “brilliant” cast on her Instagram Stories. She also expressed her love for the movie.
Malaika shared a Darlings poster with the caption, “What brilliant performances,” tagging Alia, Vijay, and Shefali. Additionally, the reality TV judge wrote, “I totally lovess. On her own Instagram Stories, Alia Bhatt posted Malaika’s message along with a sticker that read “flying kiss.”
Alia made her debut as a producer with Darlings through her Eternal Sunshine Productions, which also co-produced the movie. Jasmeet K. Reen is the film’s director, and she co-wrote the script with Vijay Maurya, Parveez Sheikh, and others. Alia portrays Badrunissa Shaikh, also known as Badru, a victim of domestic abuse in the movie Darlings. Shefali portrays Alia’s mother Shamshunissa Ansari aka Shamshu, and Vijay Varma plays her husband Hamza.
Alia recently discussed Shah Rukh Khan’s response to Darlings in an interview. She added that their children Suhana Khan and Aryan Khan had seen Darlings and “loved it,” as had his wife Gauri Khan, an interior designer and the movie’s co-producer. Suhana even saw the movie twice, according to Alia, who spoke to Bollywood Bubble.
Earlier, Alia had mentioned that Gauri Khan enjoyed the film, which was a “big win” for her because Gauri rarely enjoys anything. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Alia commented on Gauri’s response to Darlings, saying, “I was very happy that Gauri loved it. When Gauri enjoys my films, I feel incredibly appreciative. It is extremely uncommon. She dislikes everything. I’m so relieved that she enjoyed the film, despite the fact that she produced it. Even Shah Rukh agrees that if Gauri likes something, it’s a big win, I said when they called me.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community
JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.
JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics. (Also Read: This Oscar-nominated actor lost out on Luna Lovegood role in Harry Potter, says how it ‘stayed with me over the years’)
What HBO said
“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.
It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”
A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”
About Harry Potter series
Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.
The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.
Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
