Cooking with Stella is a film written by siblings Deepa Mehta and Dilip Mehta. The film is a light comedy about a Canadian diplomat (played by Lisa Ray) and her husband (Don McKellar) living in New Delhi, and their cook, Stella (Seema Biswas).[1][2] It also stars Shriya Saran.[3] Despite the film being a comedy, writer-director Dilip Mehta describes it as being "very issue-driven... an iron fist in a velvet glove."[2]
Cooking with Stella was shot on location in New Delhi,[3] and had entered post-production as of May 2008.[4] It was scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 16 September 2009.
