SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment will release ‘Darlings’ in Tamil & Telugu

Alia Bhatt was a creative producer of the recently released Netflix film ‘Darlings’ under the banner of Eternal Sunshine Productions. The film is also co-produced by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. The film is a dark comedy that also stars Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma, and Roshan Mathew. Recently it was confirmed that SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment will soon make ‘Darlings’ in Tamil and Telugu.

In a recent interview Gaurav Verma, Producer and COO, Red Chillies Entertainment, confirmed the development saying, “We had the script of Darlings with us for a while now and through the journey of making it, we decided to make it in multiple languages. The film has a certain landscape which can be adapted very well in multiple languages. The process is on as we speak.” He further shared that “The story remains the same, but we will localize it. Darlings was a story set in Mumbai, but now, we will create a different world for Tamil and Telugu. We localise the characters and their reactions.” When asked about the production house marking its debut in Tamil and Telugu cinema, he shared, “If given an opportunity, it has been a path we want to walk on. Jawan will be released in multiple languages. To go to the Tamil and Telugu market is not something we will consolidate or have offices there, but it’s going to be on a script-to-script basis. Darlings has the potential, so we are taking it there”.

To conclude he said, “A lot of people sell off the rights, but we want to participate in the process of taking this story to other languages. We have been associated with the script for 4 years now and we want it to grow in the right way. Of course, there will be language barriers, but we will make sure it’s done correctly,” further elaborating, “Very rarely do we come across a film which does well commercially and critically. We are all overwhelmed with the response. It’s good to be at the receiving end”.
