Filmmaker Vikas Khanna is set to release his new movie, 'Imaginary Rain,' in the coming months. The film stars veteran actress Shabana Azmi as a renowned Manhattan chef who returns to India following a significant personal loss. This poignant narrative explores themes of grief, the healing power of family connections, and rediscovering happiness through culinary arts.

Khanna expressed immense pride in the project, calling it his "life's best work." He also highlighted the privilege of directing Azmi, an experience he considers a major life achievement. The film also features Prateik Patil in a significant role and has music by A. R. Rahman. Khanna aims for the film to celebrate Indian cuisine and culture.

Khan described the establishment not as a mere "shop," but as a "temple," signifying its impact beyond mere dining. This vision, Khanna believes, was about elevating the entire cuisine and culture.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for his upcoming film 'King,' directed by Siddharth Anand.
