The film has been named after Paranthe Wali Gali, Old Delhi’s famous by-lane known for its wide array of tempting paranthas, because the place is shown as a backdrop of the film. “The story of Paranthe Wali Gali starts from the famous and popular lane and then moves into the lives of the characters living there. In the film, we are trying to touch that part of Delhi that has not been explored till now.” The director added.

“A romantic comedy, the film also has various other dimensions. It is a sensitive film of dreams, success, failure and relationship.”said Gupta. Till now, Gupta has done 13 original productions, three broadway shows in New York and he even recently got a National Award – Natya Bhushan – for his contribution to theatre. “It can be considered a romantic comedy, but not entirely. It has various other aspects too. It is a sensitive film and has such an appeal using the Old Delhi lanes and other symbols those easily recognisable monuments. Anyone would be able to relate to it. It would be about me or you or anyone else,” said Mr Gupta.

The cast includes Anuj Saxena, Neha Pawar, Vijayant Kohli, Mohinder Gujral, and Prabhakar Srinet, mostly from small screen and theatrical background “Our attempt in the movie is to showcase the characters and not the actors. So I did not finalise A-list actors. At present if you see the kind of cinema made, having star does not matter any more,” said Gupta.

The co-producer of the movies is Subodh Goel, Cinematographer Debashish Banerjee, Editor Vijay Chauhan.
