Shah Rukh Khan features in international chef Vikas Khanna's film that talks about food and spirituality
New York-based international chef and filmmaker Vikas Khanna’s upcoming project The Moon of Eid features Shah Rukh Khan talking about spirituality and food.
It is a part of the holy kitchen film series that appears at different religions and their food customs. The film aims to bind together the meaning of food in religion with the actual world experience of sharing food in a religious context.
The documentary takes a glance at Ramzan, the Muslim month of fasting, when adherents of Islam enjoy their favourite foods after breaking their fast at sunset and communities are drawn together in sharing the feast foods at iftar.
Says Vikas, “I was with Shah Rukh Khan for the shoot of the film. He spoke about food and spirituality. It was a terrific experience to look him discuss his food belief in connection with iftar.”
The film is slated to have a DVD release within the coming months and Vikas, who was also a part of an Indian culinary show on television, is slated to be in Mumbai soon.
Adds Vikas, “We began work at the project a couple of month back and we took Shah Rukh Khan’s inputs besides. He also gave an elaborate interview and spoke about his Eid parties. It proved to be a really perfect source of information from a large star.”

As the chef puts it, “When we share food in a non secular setting, it draws us towards our creator in addition to to one another. AN EASY dish becomes a lot more than an easy bowl of food when shared with others.”
The aim of the chef’s project is to make people conscious about the world’s religious traditions that may pave the best way for mutual respect.
The first film within the holy kitchen series relies on langars, the Sikh community kitchens. Other projects are based upon the food traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Judaism.
