'Don't Be Shy' 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, as per a press release, 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.

Another coming-of-age story? Feels like we've seen this theme a lot lately. Hope it brings something new to the table and isn't just another clichéd college romance. That said, Alia's track record is good, so will give it a chance.

The premise sounds relatable! Many of us think we have life figured out at 20, only to have plans go sideways. It's refreshing to see a story from a young woman's perspective. Prime Video is a great platform for it.

Good to see more women-led production houses. Alia and Shaheen are a power duo! The industry needs more diverse voices behind the camera. Hope the film does justice to the 'coming-of-age' tag.

As a 22-year-old, I feel this story is for me! Shy's journey sounds exactly like what my friends and I are going through. Balancing career plans, friendships, and figuring out love. Day one watch on Prime! ✨
