It has been reported Ronnie Screwvala, Nitesh and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari will jointly back the biopic, which will be helmed by the filmmaker couple’s associate Piyush Gupta.
The project has gone on floors. “Huma longed to do a biopic. When this movie came her way, it ticked that box. She loved the storyline that traces how Tarla Dalal revolutionised Indian cooking, particularly vegetarian fare,” says a source.
What started as a humble cooking class from Dalal’s Mumbai home in 1966 soon became immensely popular, paving the way for a series of classes and her first cookbook, The Pleasures of Vegetarian Cooking in 1974. Her easy recipes and ability to adapt foreign cuisines for the Indian palate made her books a prized possession among homemakers. Couple that with her genial manner, and she was the perfect face to begin the trend of culinary shows on television. Interestingly, the late food writer, who passed away in 2013, remains the only one in her field to be honoured with the Padma Shri.
