ALIA'S THEORY OF BECOMING

Darlings is a genre-shifter. It starts out as a relationship horror and then turns into a revenge thriller and dark comedy. Did the surprise factor draw you to it?

When the director Jasmeet K. Reen started the narration she said I want to make a film on domestic violence but in an entertaining way. Otherwise people don't watch films like this and learn. I also loved the mother-daughter dynamic; I was emotional about their journey by the end. I love the way Jasmeet has brought alive the world and how clear she is in her vision.

You play a character who is so gullible that you feel like knocking some sense into her. How did you get into the shoes of Badru who is so unlike Gully Boy's feisty Safeena.
