As per a recent revelation vide a Tweet post by Discovery Plus streaming platform, their upcoming celebrity cooking show ‘Star vs Food’ will begin streaming from April 15, 2021, onwards. The post began with the words “They rule the silver screen, but can they rule the kitchen?”.
The show’s format apparently features famous Indian celebrities including Kareena Kapoor Khan (in her OTT debut) Karan Johar, Malaika Arora, Arjun Kapoor and Pratik Gandhi (of Scam 1992’s fame) and their spirited endeavors showing their culinary skills, albeit under the supervision of a professional chef. It will reportedly be telecast on a weekly basis with a Bollywood personality donning the chef’s cap.
The show will reportedly also feature well-known chefs like Vidit Aren, Sarita Pereira, Lakhan, Gulaam Gouse Deewani, and Prateek Sadhu guiding their celebrity guests.
In the show’s teaser video, one can see Kareena Kapoor Khan sincerely grating a block of cheese while Karan Johar saying “Yeh Upar To Nahin Uchlega Na? (Won’t it jump up?).
While Malaika Arora saying the words ‘Never Ever Ever…’ just before a fish is placed in front of her. The teaser gives us an interesting behind-the-scenes look at our favorite celebrities’ tryst with cooking.
In the words of Isaac John (Business Head – Direct-to-Consumer Head – APAC, Discovery), “It’s been a year since discovery+ launched in India and this past year we’ve delivered a viewing experience with a distinct value proposition for lifelong learners and passionate communities. Among scores of thousands of glowing reviews this past year, our users describe discovery+ as ‘mind-blowing’, ‘educational’, ‘entertaining’, ‘worth every penny’, and ‘a must-have’ app. This has only motivated us to further elevate their experience.”
He further said that “We’re now excited to dive into our first exclusive lifestyle original ‘Star vs Food’ with some of India’s top celebrities who have ruled hearts in India and with Star vs Food, we will find out if they can rule the kitchen for their loved ones.”
The first episode of the show is said to feature Kareena Kapoor Khan, who will be seen cooking for her friends. Now whether these celebrities, who have won our hearts by their acting prowess, will be able to replicate their achievements in the kitchen arena – that can only be seen from April 15 onwards on Discovery Plus.
