Cinemax India Ltd (Production Chef )

You can find us at Gate Number 1 in Hanif Chowl, which is part of the Hanuman Tekdi area. Our specific spot is Room A-97 in the Laxmei Bhai Chawl over in Santacruz East. It’s a very local neighborhood, very tucked away. We work as production chefs here for Cinemax India. It’s not a big professional kitchen like you see on TV. It’s more of a practical, hardworking space where we prep what’s needed. The area is quite crowded, and there are always neighbors walking by or kids playing near the gate. We’ve been here for a while now. The room is small, but we’ve organized it so we can get all the cooking and prep work done without tripping over each other. It gets pretty hot in the afternoons, especially when the stoves are going. We don’t have fancy uniforms or a front desk. We just focus on the food and making sure everything is ready for the production schedules. It’s a lot of early mornings and late nights. Dealing with the logistics of a chawl can be tricky sometimes with the narrow lanes, but we have a routine that works. People around here know us as the cooking crew. We don’t put on any acts; we just do the job that’s assigned to us. If you’re looking for A-97, just ask someone at the Hanuman Tekdi entrance. Most folks know where the different chawls are located. We’re just here working.
