Creator-producer Harman Baweja has been thrilled to work on the project ever since the acclaimed Malayalam film released last year. And he has finally roped in Malhotra to headline the challenging narrative, with acclaimed director Arati Kadav at the helm.

Talking about the project, Baweja shares, “The message of the film is something that stays with you long after it. The challenge was to adapt it for the pan-India audience while maintaining the right balance of an entertaining yet thought-provoking film, a conversation starter. I feel very lucky to begin this journey with two powerhouse women — Sanya Malhotra and Arati Kadav.”

In a similar vein, Kadav says, “It is a proud moment for me to be associated with The Great Indian Kitchen remake as a director. Every filmmaker waits for a defining script like this.
