New Delhi:

Actor Rasika Dugal and her husband Mukul Chadda, who have been staying at home like all of us, decided to make a short film. Because, why not? Presented by Terribly Tiny Talkies, Rasika Dugal and Mukul Chadda's short film is titled Banana Bread and is truly as sweet as the name suggests. The 12-and-a-half-minute short film has been entirely shot at home by Rasika and Mukul, who are the only actors in it. Rasika plays the role of Shruti, the single occupant of a swanky apartment, who chances upon her new neighbour, a naive character, played by Mukul. Shruti, who has been spending lonely days while practising social distancing, invites her neighbour to her place - first he comes to get filtered water and the next thing we know, he's watching Sherlock with Shruti.

Shruti, who insisted that her neighbour comes over for some catching up, keeps reiterating social distancing rules but gets carried away every now and then. She says baking banana bread is the only thing that's been keeping her sane. Despite their differences in lifestyle, choices and views, Shruti and her neighbour have a fun-time together before a realisation dawns upon them.

Credits for the story, the screenplay and the dialogues go to Rasika Dugal and Mukul Chadda. Watch Banana Bread here:
