Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt, under their banner Eternal Sunshine Productions, have come on board for a new film, a coming-of-age comedy drama. Prime Video today announced its upcoming original movie, Don’t Be Shy, written and directed by Sreeti Mukerji. Produced by Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt under the banner of Eternal Sunshine Productions and co-produced by Grishma Shah and Vikesh Bhutani, Don’t Be Shy follows the story of Shyamili ‘Shy’ Das, a 20-year-old girl who thinks she has everything figured out until her perfectly planned life takes an unpredictable turn, and things begin to spiral out of her control.
“At Eternal Sunshine, we’ve always wanted to back stories that feel honest and voices that feel their own,” says Alia Bhatt, co-founder of Eternal Sunshine Productions.
She continues, “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 take bold creative calls and genuinely support distinctive storytelling, which felt like a natural meeting of minds, and the right place for this story to find its audience.”
