Mumbai: On Tuesday, Alia took to Instagram and surprised everyone by sharing a teaser of the film. Actors Shaifali Shah, Vijay Verma and Roshan Mathew are also a part of the project.
"It's just a tease Darlings," she captioned the clip.
The teaser begins with Alia watching a movie in a theatre. Then she is heard telling the story of a frog resting by a river, who happens to befriend a scorpion.
