Don’t Be Shy: Alia Bhatt teams up with sister Shaheen Bhatt to tell ‘a story you grow up with’ in Prime Video’s new film

  • On Friday, Prime Video greenlit Don't Be Shy, an original rom-com produced by Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt through Eternal Sunshine Productions, written and directed by Sreeti Mukerji with Grishma Shah and Vikesh Bhutani as co-producers.
  • The Bhatt sisters said the project spoke to them because of its sincerity and coming-of-age focus, praising Prime Video as a partner that supports distinctive storytelling.
  • The announcement clip shows Alia Bhatt juggling a frantic call and a surreal turtle-script gag, while the film follows Shyamili 'Shy' Das as unexpected events force her to reassess love and adulthood, with an original score by Ram Sampath.
  • The greenlight expands Prime Video's India slate, bringing another original rom-com centered on Shy Das and joining well-known Indian series and films, Nikhil Madhok said.
  • Eternal Sunshine previously debuted with Darlings on Netflix, launching its slate across platforms, and after the box-office setback of Jigra, the company returns with a streamer-backed project in Don't Be Shy.
