Roshan Mathew joins Alia Bhatt in SRK production

After making his Hindi debut in Anurag Kashyap's Choked, Roshan Mathew has confirmed his appearance in his second Hindi film, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Vijay Varma. Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies banner is backing the film tentatively titled Darlings.

It is said to be a women-centric film revolving around a kidnapping gone awry, which will have Alia and Vijay Varma portraying a husband-wife duo. Shefali Shah (Delhi Crime, Once Again) is also in the cast.

Jasmeet K Reen, who was a writer on Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019) and Force 2 (2016), will direct the feature. There were reports earlier that Jasmeet was supposed to direct a biopic on writer-poet Sahir Ludhianvi, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. However, that project seems to be on hold as of now.

Meanwhile, Roshan, who was last seen in CU Soon, is shooting for his new Malayalam film Kothu in which he is sharing the screen with Asif Ali.
