Following the success of ‘Airlift’ (2016) at the box office, director Raja Krishna Menon has been preparing for his next film titled ‘Chef’. It is reported that the film is a remake of Jon Favreau’s film of the same name, however the plot has been revamped to cater to Indian audiences, for instance, there will be no film critic in Menon’s version which is integral to the plot in the Hollywood flick.

Buzz in the grapevine is that the movie will star Saif Ali Khan as the male protagonist and shooting will commence next month in Kochi.

According to��Box Office India, a source shared, “Indians love food, so a film on a chef can have many stories in India. The director and his writers have given the script a totally new twist. One might expect the chef to be a Punjabi cook but that�۪s not the plot. The film starts in Kochi and travels all over India.”

Although the script has not required a leading lady to be signed opposite Khan, Padmapriya, popularly known for her work in south-Indian cinema, is said to have been signed by Menon to play a pivotal role in the movie.
