Balaji Digital, the digital arm of Balaji Telefilms, has unveiled its upcoming series ‘Ishk Dum Aur Idli Rasam’, further expanding its slate of original digital content.

According to a press release, the show is being produced under the Balaji Studios banner and marks a collaborative milestone with actor Surbhi Chandna, who joins the project as a producer through her production house, Feel Good Studios. The partnership reflects the platform’s continued focus on working with talent-driven creative voices to build engaging, contemporary narratives.

The series stars Shiny Doshi in the lead role of Meera Nair and is set against the backdrop of a heritage South Indian restaurant.
