Los Angeles – The cast of ‘Wonka’ got a savory taste of India as they tried the popular Indian candy ‘Mango Bite’. A Warner Bros. India video captured the reactions of the star-studded cast, including Timothee Chalamet, Hugh Grant, Olivia Coleman, Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, and Simon Farnaby, as they sampled the candy. The actors’ responses were overwhelmingly positive, suggesting that they thoroughly enjoyed the tropical treat.
In the video, Timothee Chalamet expressed his admiration for the candy’s vibrant yellow and green packaging. Olivia Coleman compared the packaging to a little handbag before declaring the candy as her favorite, deeming it yummy. Hugh Grant, on the other hand, reminisced about his past experiences in Calcutta (Kolkata) and expressed his fondness for the candy, stating, I am liking this very much. It takes me back to Calcutta.
The enthusiasm for the Mango Bite candy extended to the entire cast. Chalamet happily declared the last three candies, including Mango Bite, as a home run, while Keegan-Michael Key echoed his sentiment and shared his appreciation for the tradition of sharing this candy among children on their birthdays. Simon Farnaby humorously added, On your birthday, you hand things out. On your birthday, you will lose all your sweets.
‘Wonka’, directed by Paul King and co-written by Simon Farnaby, showcases the early days of Willy Wonka, the beloved character from Roald Dahl’s classic novel ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. Serving as an origin story, the 2023 musical fantasy film delves into Wonka’s journey as a chocolatier. This movie marks the third adaptation of Dahl’s book, following the 1971 film ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’ and the 2005 film ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.
The video shared by Warner Bros. India not only provides a glimpse into the cast’s delightful experience with Mango Bite but also generates excitement for the upcoming film, ‘Wonka’. As the actors eagerly await the release of their anticipated project, fans are left eagerly anticipating their own taste of the delightful world of Wonka on the silver screen.
With the positive reception and the cast’s endorsement of Mango Bite, fans and candy enthusiasts might be encouraged to try this Indian delight themselves, adding a touch of India to their taste buds.
