ZEE5, India's largest home-grown video streaming platform, announced its latest Original Film, Tadka: Love Is Cooking starring Nana Patekar, Taapsee Pannu, Shriya Saran and Ali Fazal in key roles. Jointly produced by Nittin Keni, Sameer Dixit, Akash Chawla, Jatish Varma and co-produced by Girish Johar, Tadka is a Zee Studios and Movie Makers Inc production and is a remake of the Malayalam blockbuster, Salt N Pepper. With maestro Ilayaraja’s music and Preetha Jayaram’s cinematography, the film also stars Lilette Dubey and Rajesh Sharma in supporting roles and is set to premiere on ZEE5 on 4th November.
Written and directed by Prakash Raj, Tadka: Love Is Cooking is a romantic comedy of errors. What starts off as a wrongly dialled number soon leads to feelings between Tukaram (Nana Patekar), an archaeologist and Madhura (Shriya Saran), a radio jockey. However, when it is time to meet face-to-face, Gaurikshankar develops a cold-feet and sends his nephew Siddharth (Ali Fazal) to meet Vidya who in turn sends her friend, Nicole (Taapsee) to meet Gaurishankar. Sidharth (having introduced himself as Gaurishankar) and Aditi (having introduced herself as Vidya) hit it off right away and decide to persuade Gaurikshankar and Vidya that they aren’t right for each other. However, will love win over misplaced identities and will Gaurishankar and Vidya’s common love for food help them come closer or will their internalized belief that they are too old to fall in love dissuade them from coming closer?
A story that goes from khane se pyaar to pyaar ka izhaar!

Shriya Saran said, “I had heard such good things about the original film, Salt N Pepper that when I was approached to be a part of the Hindi remake, I immediately jumped at the opportunity because it is not too often that you get to be directed by Prakash Raj and share the screen with Nana Patekar. Tadka is the kind of cinema that I love and admire as it feels like a tight hug on a cold day, so I hope that the viewers enjoy our sweet film too”.
Tadka: Love Is Cooking will exclusively premiere on ZEE5 from 4th November.
