Bollywood actor Sanya Malhotra is set to play the lead in Hindi remake of the critically acclaimed Malayalam movie The Great Indian Kitchen.
Nimisha Sajayan played the lead in the Malayalam version, and was paired opposite Suraj Venjaramoodu. Harman Baweja will play the character played by Venjaramoodu.
The Hindi remake will be directed by Arati Kadav.
In a statement, Malhotra revealed that she is really excited about the project. "As an actor, I could not have asked for a better character than I would essay in The Great Indian Kitchen. I am more than excited to start working on my role because there are so many layers and nuances to it."
Baweja said there is a mystic quality attached to The Great Indian Kitchen. "The story stays with you well after the film. I wanted to make it for a pan-India audience with the perfect balance between entertainment and content-driven drama."
The Great Indian Kitchen, directed by Jeo Baby, revolves around a newlywed couple, played by Nimisha Sajayan and Suraj Venjaramoodu. The movie explores the insidious nature of patriarchy that chains women to backbreaking but thankless routine of household chores.
