The director is expected to talk about the making of the Smita Patil, Naseeruddin Shah and late actor Om Puri starrer, the inspiration behind his decision to make the film and what makes the 33-year-old classic relevant even today. Talkietive Media, in association with Carnival Cinemas, is bringing forth this venture.

Mirch Masala revolves around the story of Sonbai, who, with the help of women workers from a chilli factory, stands up to her oppressors.
