Talented baker Tanya Babanina from Protvino near Moscow is a master in the kitchen and dreams of opening her own café. However, to achieve her dream, she must step out of her comfort zone. Tanya's journey takes her on an international adventure, leading her to Sri Lanka. There, she finds herself without money or documents, having just experienced betrayal from her husband immediately after their wedding. In a state of confusion and hangover, she unexpectedly ends up sharing a roof with three frustrated young men, complicating her situation even further.[3] [4]
For example, one of the key actors Vasant Balan is a Russian comedian of the Indian descent who could not get a visa to go to Sri Lanka.
Principal photography for the project began in early March 2020 and took place in Sri Lanka. On March 12, after finishing the filming block, all the artists returned to Moscow. Six days later, Colombo Airport stopped operating all overseas flights due to the pandemic. The entire film crew did not have time to leave the island, in connection with this, the production of the film was temporarily suspended, as the team was under quarantine measures.
In the summer of 2021, it became known that the filming of the comedy in Sri Lanka had resumed. The film crew had to face a lot of unforeseen difficulties after a year and a half after a forced pause due to the pandemic.
The first teaser trailer of Rolls was released on November 19, 2021.[5]
