Bollywood Cinematographer Returns to Home in Odisha, Opens Momo Stall
As news about her roadside food stall along with her Bollywood background made headlines, Suchismita Routray got calls offering help from Amitabh Bachchan and ‘Chehre’ producer Anand Pandit. But she politely declined all those offers.

When the Coronavirus-induced lockdown brought Bollywood to a standstill last year, a young cinematographer fell back on a side business she had started just months ago to stay afloat. But a year later, when it no longer paid off, she left for home in Odisha’s Cuttack to learn new lessons in entrepreneurship.
For 22-year-old Suchismita Routray, selling momos in front of her house in a bustling lane in Odisha’s largest city is in no way inferior to working as a cinematographer in Bollywood for six years. She feels grateful that she had started a food business on the side in September 2019 while working as an assistant cinematographer in a number of Bollywood movies.
“I always wanted to start a food business. I wanted to open a restaurant. I was making Odia dishes at home in Mumbai in my free time and giving deliveries to Zomato. But when I stopped getting work from movies due to the pandemic, I came back to Cuttack and set up this fast food stall,” said Routray, who has worked with cine stars such as Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Vicky Kaushal, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and also the late Sushant Singh Rajput.
