(Pic: Some of the cast members: Kogie Naidoo, Senzo Mthethwa, Karunai Chetty, Terena Balakisten, Veekram Ramgoolam and Sathie Moodley)Phutu and Masala is a comedy dealing with a black guy who is sort of a ‘player’ who meets and befriends an Indian girl. While she is quite homely, her family has everyone running for cover. With surprising twists to the relationship, intertwined with a meddling friend and a bumbling buffoon of a jealous ‘wannabe boyfriend’, audiences are promised some hilarious entertainment with some good humour that comprises both intelligence and slapstick. “Throw into the pot a mix of additional colourful characters and spice with some music and dance and you have the recipe for good family fun,” promise the organisers.
The cast features some well-known faces in the entertainment arena and includes: Terena Balakisten, Dean Chetty, Genean Chetty, Karunai Chetty, Sathie Moodley, Senzo Mthetwa (who appeared in winning play of the 2010 Musho Audience Award), Kershen Naidoo, Kogie Naidoo, and radio personality Neel Pillay.
