'Chutney Sambar’ promises to be a fun entertainer for the whole family. A perfect blend of Yogi Babu’s comedy counters and Radhamohan’s entertaining drama.

“In director Radhamohan's Chutney-Sambar, I have done my first full-fledged lead role in a series. It was a very good experience. Radhamohan is a very cheerful person who never says no to any suggestions his artistes give him. He is also someone who enjoys good comedy. I chose to work in this web series because of director Radhamohan. His dialogues, his making style. and the person himself.”
- Yogi Babu, Actor
“I've been eyeing the series format for a while. When the right opportunity came, I took it up. Amidst the influx of murder mysteries, I felt a breezy, comical series would be a welcome change. 'Chutney Sambar' was a story that only Yogi Babu could headline, and once he liked the idea, I started developing it with Disney+ Hotstar.”
- Radhamohan, Director

Rathinasamy, the owner of the famous Amudha Café, Ooty, in his deathbed confesses to his son Karthik, that he has a son from a past relationship.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”
