Swiggy also made a reference to Bachchan’s blockbuster “Dhoom” trilogy in the video, which prompted the actor to respond in a similar manner.

Bachchan, who played the role of ACP Jai Dixit in the movies, replied to Swiggy’s video in another Instagram Story. “Arresting y’all for delivering the yummiest misal,” he wrote.

Misal pav is a traditional Maharashtrian dish made of misal - a spicy preparation of moth beans garnished with farsan, chopped onions, coriander etc - and pav, a type of bread roll.

Abhishek Bachchan has spoken of his fondness for misal in the past as well. In 2023, in conversation with Instagram food account Yum Yum Kitchen, he had named misal as his favourite dish and Mamledar Misal as his favourite restaurant. “I am a big misal fry person. Every morning, when I am shooting, I eat it. For me, the best misal comes from Thane. There is a place called Mamledar Misal,” he had said.
