MUMBAI: Cooking with Stella, a joint production of BR Films and Hamilton Mehta Production, will have its world premiere on 16 September at the Toronto Film Festival.
The film that was selected from over 3000 entries is amongst the top 20 films that have been given the honour of holding a world premiere at the Festival.
Said BR Films MD Ravi Chopra, “Here is a different flavour of a film that is coming for both India and the international market. We at BR Films and Hamilton Mehta Productions are taking our relationship forward with this venture.”
Adds BR Films CEO and executive producer Sanjay Bhutiani, “BR Films had an integral role in the making of Cooking with Stella. Since the film was being shot in India, we did the production planning, execution and logistics of the film including casting and budgeting. It was a complex task which involved Indian, Canadian and British crew for over 45 days in New Delhi. We are more than delighted with this honour.”
Cooking with Stella, written by siblings Deepa Mehta and Dilip Mehta is a warm-hearted social satire portraying the inequality of life and subtly highlights the disparity between servants and their employers through the lives of a Canadian diplomatic couple and their South Indian cook.
