Three Course Meal: 3 Bengali directors team up for food anthology film

Directors Indrasis Acharya, Arjunn Dutta, and Shieladitya Moulik are stalwarts in the Bengali cinema. In a delightful news to fans, they have joined hands to bring the dark side alive in their upcoming food anthology movie, Three Course Meal. The film would be based on the theme of food, but the genre would be a dark fantasy thriller.

Starring Joy Sengupta, Sushama Deshpande, Anubhav Kanjilal, Debopriyo Mukherjee and Ananya Sengupta, Indrasis Acharya’s story is titled Red Velvet. Calling himself privileged to embark on this ambitious journey of food and darkness for national audiences, the Pupa director expressed that this will be his first pan-India body of work, and he is quite nervous as well as excited for it, because of the subject being very different from his previous projects.

Shieladitya’s story Baby Food has artistes Shweta Basu Prasad, Anirban Chakrabarti, and others at the helm of it. He feels that his narrative is the darkest of all, and was very difficult to conceptualise. He is aiming to surprise the audience not only with the content but also with the execution.

With a stellar cast in place, including Paoli Dam, Rupsa Chatterjee, Devlina Kumar, MK Raina, Kan Singh Sodha and Shoaib Kabeer, Arjunn Dutta is directing a story called Biriyani. Calling it an experimental subject, Arjunn believes food and dark put together is a novelty, with his track being a layered one with an unusual twist at the end.

While the shoot of Shieladitya’s Baby Food and Indrasis Acharya’s Red Velvet has already been wrapped up, Arjunn has begun filming for his part Biriyani this week.
