Earlier, Ritesh had also mentioned that such gatherings will take place at city's Irani cafes in an attempt to revive them as cultural spaces.

"The cafes are an important part of the city's heritage and we cannot lose them to the winds of change. We have done sessions on writing, directing, acting and casting with industry professionals and now both people from the industry and cafe owners have reached out to us to be part of this effort," Batra told PTI.

During the event, the "Badlapur" actor said that it is important to revive these cafes as they are part of Mumbai's identity.

Meanwhile, Ritesh also has plans to expand this innovative step by creating mobile application to document the history of each cafes with their best dishes.
