Apart from their love for films, there’s another common factor between director Sanjay Tripathy and actors Farooque Sheikh and Sarika — all of them have a sweet tooth.
The trio learnt about their love for sweets on the sets of their upcoming film,
Club 60. Sarika then suggested that they hold a competition on who would get the best sweets on the sets.
So, the next day, Farooque landed with four boxes of some special Bengali sweets.
“We had to keep pace with Farooque, because he knows the best sweet shops in most cities — be it Mumbai, Pune or Delhi. Also, his fans and well-wishers send him exotic sweets from across the country and even from the Middle East. In short, Farooque won hands down,” says Tripathy.
Adds Farooque, “We not only have a sweet tooth, we have sweet dentures as well.” Sarika says, “Farooque won on the basis of quantity. If we would get five kilos of sweets, he would get 30. We are obsessed with sweets. Even a cake that was to be used in a scene, was designed carefully, it was not treated merely like a prop.”
Club 60, presented by Bharat Shah and produced by Kavee Kumar, releases December 6.
