Alia Bhatt has teamed up with her sister Shaheen Bhatt to produce her next film, titled “Don’t Be Shy” for Prime Video.
The film, made under Shaheen’s banner, Eternal Sunshine Productions, is Alia’s third project as a producer. She earlier produced “Darlings” and the 2024 thriller “Jigra”.
“Don’t Be Shy” is co-produced by Grishma Shah and Vikesh Bhutani while Sreeti Mukerji has written and directed it.
On Friday, Prime Video posted a fun video on Instagram featuring Alia and Shaheen to share the announcement.

The film follows the story of Shyamili “Shy” Das, a 20-year-old woman who believes she has her life fully planned. Things change when her world takes an unexpected turn, and her carefully set ideas about love, friendship, and growing up are put to the test.
The “Raazi” actress shared that the film immediately resonated with the team because of its coming-of-age theme and the way it explores love, friendship, and growing up from a young woman's perspective.
"This film immediately spoke to us because of its sincerity and coming-of-age lens, and Sreeti's passion and energy naturally fed into the spirit of the story. It's an incredibly special project for me and for Eternal Sunshine. And with Prime Video, we found partners who consistently make bold creative decisions and genuinely support distinctive storytelling, which felt like a natural meeting of minds and the right place for this story to find its audience," she said, as per a release.
