Very fun and exciting!” He went on to describe his culinary experiments, stating, “I’ve been experimenting with different types of parottas for the film with Pandiraj. I tried making Watermelon Parotta, Pineapple Parotta, Parotta Pongal, Coffee Dosa, and more with Nithya Menen. We set up a Parotta stall at their office. While the Pineapple Parotta didn’t turn out well, I had better success with Kuthu Parotta. I also tried Parotta Pongal and Coffee Dosa, both of which turned out great.”
