Talking about her character and the show, she shares, ‘I love every bit of this series, especially the title ‘Tandoori Idly’. The title in itself is quirky and makes people curious about what’s in it for them. I play Simran, a North Indian girl who has shifted her base to Chennai to pursue her career. A dose of entertainment is a must in people’s lives, especially during trying times like these and our series ‘lTandoori Idly offers exactly that’.

Says Devanshu Arya, ‘Web is a platform that allows you so much creative liberty to tell different stories which would not suit the sensibilities of TV content or films. Working on this fun filled story was a delightful experience and I hope the viewers enjoy this series as much as we enjoyed while making it.’
The series also has Vikkals Vikram, Vinod Kumar, Whatsaap Mani, Suhasini Sanjeev and Mirchi Saba in pivotal roles.
