Kishan's restaurant adheres to some food safety protocols
The officials found that Vivaha Bhojanambu was only following a handful of the necessary procedures, such as the food handlers wearing hairnets and uniforms. They noted that pest control records were available upon request, and a valid copy of its FSSAI license was prominently displayed on the premises. Previously, teams from Telangana's Commissioner of Food Safety visited cloud kitchens in Ameerpet as well as eateries in Hyderabad's Tolichowki and Gachibowli areas.
Actor opened the restaurant a few years ago
The actor opened the restaurant a few years ago and now has branches in Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills and AS Rao Nagar, as well as Tirupati, Ananthapur, and Chennai. Kishan was recently seen in the Tamil film Captain Miller, starring Dhanush, and the Telugu film Ooru Peru Bhairavakona. He will next be seen in Raayan, directed by Dhanush and starring SJ Suryah and Kalidas Jayaram. The movie will be released on July 26.
