A video shared by Warner Bros. India shows Timothee Chalamet, Hugh Grant, Olivia Coleman, Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key and Simon Farnaby trying the Indian candy. Chalamet likes the bright yellow and green packaging.To which, Coleman says the packaging “is like a little handbag.” She then tries the candy calling it is yummy and tagged it as her “favourite”. Grant then tries it and said: “I am liking this very much. It takes me back to Calcutta (Kolkata).” Chalamet says the last three candies, including this one were a “home run.”

Keegan loves it too. The interviewer talks about how children share this candy in school on their birthday, to which, Keegan says: “Such a nice tradition.” Farnaby hilariously added: “On your birthday you hand things out. On your birthday you will lose all your sweets.”
