The name of Vikas Khanna is certain to ring an instant bell within the minds of housewives all over, courtesy, his boyish charm that's doubled up together with his impeccable hosting skills within the cookery show Masterchef India 2. Well, it's the same New York- based international chef and filmmaker Vikas Khanna, whose upcoming project The Moon of Eid features none instead of Shah Rukh Khan.
The said film, which talks about spirituality and food, is part of the 'Holy Kitchen' film series that appears at different religions and their respective food customs and habits. Along with that, the film also aims at bridging together the meaning of food in religion with the experience of sharing food in a religious context. This docu-film also features the holy month of Ramzan, when the followers of Islam enjoy their favourite foods after breaking their fast at sunset and communities are drawn together in sharing the feast foods at iftar.
Talking about this close-to-heart project, Vikas said that it was indeed a remarkable experience to peer SRK speak about his food beliefs in connection with iftar. News also has it that Vikas might be visiting Mumbai soon for the DVD release of the film, that is expected to happen soon. Vikas, whose project's aim is to make people conscious about the world's religious traditions paving way for mutual respect, added that they began work at the project few months back. For this, they not just managed to get SRK's inputs, but in addition an elaborate interview wherein he also spoke about his Eid parties.
While the primary film within the 'Holy Kitchen' series is predicated on langars (of the Sikh community), the opposite projects are based upon the food traditions and habits of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Judaism.
