“It’s a halal/haram film,” Remi M Sali, director of Not My Mother’s Baking told TheHomeGround.Asia during an interview.

“What constitutes halal, and what constitutes haram has always been discussed and debated, and I would dare say taken for granted, but otherwise it’s always been swept under the carpet. That’s something we do not want to hide in our movie,” he explained.
