As per the latest buzz, “Earlier, food (as a category) was limited to recipes. Then it became travel content, reality shows, some short films and social media reels. The food fiction space was vacant and fairly unexplored. But there are so many stories in our culture that revolve around food. In the coming times, I see a lot of stories being made around food. Ab asli food ki kahaniyan kahi jaayengi,” he tells us.
In further updates, On the short movie, he adds, “There is an 18-minute short movie Rampher Ki Kulfi with two kulfiwallahs played by Sanjay Mishra and Sharib Hashmi in Old City of Lucknow. It is directed by Lucknow-based Archit D Rasstogi. I came on board as a presenter and it has been screened in various worldwide movie festivals. I do feel food and fiction is the next step in content and the audience will also connect to it as we all relate to such stories.”
On top of that, It was most of late screened at the Mumbai International Movie Festival (MIFF 2026) in June and will next travel to International Movie Festival of South Asia (IFFSA), Toronto. The movie also stars Bhawana Pandey.
