Some of his great works have been Shaan ( his breakthrough film in 1980), the international award winning film ‘Gandhi’ in 1982, ‘Partner’ in 2007, ‘Race’ in 2008, popular Indian television serial ‘Buniyaad’ directed by Mr. Ramesh Sippy, Sanjay Khan’s ‘The Sword of Tipu Sultan’  and internationally acclaimed musicals such as ‘Bombay Dreams’ and ‘Evita’.

Mr Dalip Tahil visited the Midday Meal Kitchen in February 2009 and was highly impressed with the operational system used for the preparation of the nutritionally enriched khichadi. In addition he was very proactive and enthusiastic about making this project gain recognition among the Indian and the international audience as well. His involvement with the project has opened various innovative and fruitful avenues to help us spread the word.
