She opened the year with the intense medical drama, Human, following it up with the gripping Jalsa. It’s time for Shefali Shah to mix it up as she attempts a dark comedy with the Netflix offering, Darlings. The actor teams up with Alia Bhatt to tell the story of a mother-daughter duo who, in their unconventional way, fight domestic violence. She believes the success of such a quirky film depends as much on the actors’ chemistry as on its sharp writing. “It’s written very well. That said, even if you have two good actors, but there is no chemistry between them, [the humour] won’t translate. I don’t think you can work on chemistry; it is organic. With Alia, it was easy because we were on the same page,” says Shah.
