That was very special indeed.”
Priyanka, who has played the character of Niharika, says, “We often visit cafes and just spend our time enjoying the food. We don’t really invest in getting to know the people behind that.

We shot mostly in and around the city and cafes. It was so much fun, and we enjoyed the process a lot.”

I’d especially mention the name of Shantanu Nath, a known thespian who has worked brilliantly in the film.”
‘Robin’s Kitchen’, produced by Mukesh Pandey of Pandey Motion Pictures, is slated to have a theatrical release on July 19.
