Talking about his most recent directorial venture, Pradeep Sarkar said, “I think web series gives the liberty of exploring interesting and exciting concepts. Telling a new story has always excited me. I decided to take up Coldd Lassi Aur Chicken Masala because of human relationships and conflicts in the backdrop of gourmet cooking. What really stood out on set was the fine acting prowess shown by Divyanka and Rajeev, that also allowed them to contribute to the storytelling process. I am sure the audiences will love it.” While talking about prep session for the actors, Pradeep told in.com, “For the prep, we got real Chefs on board who trained Divyanka on the nitty-gritty of a cook working at a busy kitchen. She is a talented actress and is picking up the nuances really well.” The makers are yet to announce the release date of the series.
