Shah Rukh Khan had an input for Vijay Varma's character in Darlings, reveals director Jasmeet K Reen

Shah Rukh Khan was a producer of Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma starrer Darlings which was released on Netflix earlier this year. It also marked the debut of Alia as a producer. While the audience praised Darlings for its dark humour, Vijay has a fantastic role of Hamza which was hated by the audience. The actor was praised for his performance. As a producer, SRK had input for director Jasmeet K Reen.

In a roundtable interview with Pinkvilla, Jasmeet revealed that "Shah Rukh Khan “had a very interesting input.” She continued, “He said, ‘Hamza joh hain, second half mein usko chhodna mat (Don’t let Hamza go in the second half)’.”

While they weren't planning to, after SRK's input, Hamza had a lot more to do. “Obviously, we were not going to let him go but because the humour was just coming out of him being there, tied up or cracking a line. He said ‘chhodna mat (don’t let him go). Ismein humour aa sakta hain (This can be humourous) and please cast someone who can do this.’ I think that was an important input because obviously we added a lot more Hamza after that. On a macro level, that worked,” she said.

The Red Chillies Entertainment and Eternal Sunshine Production's film Darlings is a dark comedy that explores the lives of a mother-daughter duo trying to find their place in Mumbai seeking courage and love in exceptional circumstances fighting against all odds. The film stars Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma, and Roshan Mathew and is directed by Jasmeet K Reen.
