Huma Qureshi to play Tarla Dalal in biopic

Actress Huma Qureshi will be essaying the role of India’s first ever home chef Tarla Dalal in an upcoming biopic, titled Tarla, directed by Piyush Gupta. Huma says, “Tarla Dalal reminds me of my childhood. My mom had a copy of her book in the kitchen and would often try many of her recipes for my school tiffin. I also clearly remember the time when I helped mom make Tarla’s homemade mango ice cream. This role has taken me back to those sweet childhood memories and I am very thankful to Ronnie, Ashwini and Nitesh for having faith in me to play this awe-inspiring character.” The film is jointly produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and Nitesh Tiwari. —IANS
