Sharing the trailer on social media, Alia wrote, "My first film as a producer! So excited nervous thrilled emotional to share it with you! Darlings trailer put now."

This really is turning out to be Alia's year! Don't really give a damn about the award ceremonies here anymore but won't be surprised if she ends up being nominated for both #GangubaiKathiawadi and #Darlings. The girl is on a roll. #AliaBhatt
