Bollywood filmmakers have been fascinated with biopics for the longest time. While every director has his own vision and perspective of showcasing a story, the overall true character of the subject is always kept intact. Another interesting biopic to be added to that list is that of author, chef and TV cooking show host Tarla Dalal. Actress Huma Qureshi has been signed to play her role and has begun prep. 

Tarla Dalal revolutionized Indian Vegetarian cooking back in the 80’s and 90’s. Her first book ‘The Pleasures of Vegetarian Cooking’ was published in 1974 and she wrote another 100+ post that. The Bell Bottom actress has been practicing the late Dalal’s diction and soft-spoken manner. The actress has also been reading a lot about her and watching material given to her by makers. The biopic will be directed by Piyush Gupta and produced jointly by Ronnie Screwvala, Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. The film will go on floors in the coming months.
