Ankit Siwach makes his Bollywood debut with Banaras Vanilla. The Beyhadh 2 and Manmohini actor plays a tourist guide in Sumit Mishra’s directorial venture. The actor admits it is tough for television actors to be cast in films, but adds that it’s not impossible.

"The title Banaras Vanilla justifies the plot and storyline, Vanilla is the flavour of romance and the backdrop is Banaras. "He adds, "The film has been completely shot in Banaras, it is a magical city and its essence is enough to energise a film. It is a unique story, one-of-a-kind which touches various aspects of the city and the characters and is set up in the 90s."
