In a bid to garner publicity for their upcoming film “Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurani”, producers have launched something they call the Chicken Khurani Recipe Hunt in Mumbai with a reward of ten lakh rupees for whoever finds the recipe in time for the film’s premiere on November 2.

To understand the marketing gimmick a bit better calls for a brief overview of the plot. “Luv Shuv …” is about a joint Punjabi family who are desperately searching for a recipe that has been in their family for generations and which is the key to their highly-successful dhaba.

The recipe – you guessed it, Chicken Khurani – was lost by the senile grandfather and the family can’t get a coherent clue out of him. Of course, there are sub plots and half-mad supporting characters to add to the masala but the basic comedy is quite delicious by itself.

Bollywood actors Huma Qureshi and Kunal Kapoor, who star in the movie, posed in front of a giant pressure cooker – a quirky way to get people’s attention and a rather creative style of representing the theme of the film.

Producers thought that roping in the audience would be a great way to rack up interest in the film. The cash prize doesn’t hurt either, eh?
