Basking in the success of 'Feluda' aka Pradosh Chandra Mitter, actor Abir Chatterjee relives the days of shoot for 'Badshahi Angti' in the city of Nawabs.
"I remember how we the production unit used to hunt for authentic Lucknovi Biryanis after shoots every day. And Sandip Ray and Lolita boudi (the director's wife Lolita Ray) were like the indulgent guardians. Perhaps that reflected on the screen to make it look so real. Nothing short of a culinary trip during our Lucknow outdoors," Abir, also having starred in Bomkesh sequel, told PTI.
The popular actor, also starring in Raj Chakroborty's Kathmundu, would rate the Yakhni Gosht Biryani, Shahi Paya Biryani, Keema Biryani, Shikari Bater Biryani, as the delectable royal dishes he tucked into whenever possible.
Abir, who had turned up in the Mughal-era themed place Oudh 1590 during the promotion of Badshahi Angti, said he liked the 'Jheenga Kofta Biryani' prepared by the descendants of the Nawab-era chefs of Murshidabad, as it retained the centuries-old Awadh style.
