Juhu Police have arrested Vedika Prakash Shetty, former personal assistant to Alia Bhatt. She has been accused of allegedly swindling money from Bhatt’s production house – Eternal Sunshine Productions Pvt Ltd – and from the actress’ accounts. Reportedly, Shetty had fraudulently obtained more than Rs 76 lakh from these two accounts using fake bills.

While the investigation is underway and more details are awaited, Alia or her team has not issued any statement regarding the matter as of now. The actress’ mother, Soni Razdan, had filed a complaint against Shetty earlier this year with the police.

Eternal Sunshine Productions was launched by Alia Bhatt in 2021. It aims to produce “happy films" with a focus on “real, timeless, and warm and fuzzy tales". The company’s first film was Darlings, which was co-produced with Shah Rukh Khan‘s Red Chillies Entertainment. It starred Alia Bhatt with Vijay Varma and Shefali Shah and is streaming on Netflix.

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is currently busy with her Spy Universe movie – Alpha. The film also stars Sharvari Wagh in the lead and will be released on December 25, 2025.

Besides this, Alia will soon also reunite with her actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal in the lead.

Previously, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Alia talked about the film and her reunion with Ranbir when she said, “I, as an audience, am more excited to see him [Bhansali] and Ranbir collaborate, again, after so many years. I am like, ‘wow, what’s that going to be like?" Talking about reuniting with Vicky Kaushal, Alia continued by saying, “Vicky and I coming together again; Ranbir and Vicky created magic with Sanju. So, it is a lot of combinations."

Alia also has Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Lee Zara in her pipeline. The film will also star Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. However, there is no update on the film’s shoot schedule as of now.
