Waiuku local reimagining Agatha Christie in Hindi

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from Franklin County News

Kia ora neighbours,

Sridhar Kallidai has been reading Agatha Christie’s world-famous mystery novels ever since he was a child. He and his siblings fought over who would read new copies first.

Now he is in the midst of producing a feature film adaptation of Christie’s first ever novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, first published in October 1916.

Kallidai and co-producer Mukhtiar Singh have reimagined it as ‘Summerville Murder​’, starring Christie’s beloved Hercule Poirot​ – but with a twist.

The entire film is in Hindi and Poirot is reimagined as Harkishan Purohit​, a genteel detective with that distinctive moustache (although Kallidai hopes Singh, playing Purohit, can grow it out a bit more).

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
