Sharing the update on social media, Alia revealed that the new venture already has multiple projects in the pipeline. “Our production company, Eternal Sunshine, just had a baby; say hello to Eternal Kids. We have three exciting projects lined up already,” she wrote.
The first project is a story titled “There’s C and G and M,” inspired by characters and tales created by her grandfather. The actor shared that the stories were a cherished part of her childhood and that she and her sister grew up listening to them. “Shaheen and I grew up on these stories, and now we are thrilled to bring them to you. Miss you, Grandpaa,” Alia wrote.
Another project announced under the banner is “OOLANGOO.” Alia revealed that the story revolves around a mysterious creature so unique that her mother had to invent a new word for it while telling the tale. She added that her mother also wrote the story.
The third project will expand the world of Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, based on the children’s book inspired by Alia’s sustainable kidswear brand Ed-a-Mamma. The production house now plans to turn it into a series, along with more books in the future.
