Chef, an upcoming Hindi
film directed by Raja Krishna Menon features Saif Ali Khan and Padmapriya
Janakoraman in the lead roles. Chef marks the Bollywood debut of Malayalam
actress Padmapriya Janakiraman. Chef is the official remake of John Favreau's
2014 Hollywood film of the same name, which starred the director in the titular
role. The film largely revolves around
the relationship of Saif's character with his son and how they overcome their
strained relations over food.
Saif on
being asked about the film said, "The film is based on relationships
because Raja Ji wanted me to be comfortable in the kitchen so we have tried and
practice a lot for cooking as well." Moreover, on being asked about the
fatherly feel while shoot, Saif said, "It felt very natural. He's a nice
kid and was chosen from 150 kids and checked very minutely. He was very sweet
natural and loving so it was a pleasure to work with him. Including it, he also
taught me some natural acting. We enjoyed a lot."
Raja said, "Responsibility is always
same with every film. Only the expectations gets increased but the
responsibility remains the same. The film is based on a father-son
relationship. The film is very relatable and answers many questions that we
face in life. We have explored the normal relationships. The movie has a
divorced couple too who keeps their issues away from the child and do his
upbringing but the food in this film is only a way to explore and portray
different relationships and their intensity."
Padmapriya said, "It's my second
Bollywood movie but when you work with good crew and script then it becomes
meaningful. It's a very intense film. It was an honor to work with them because
I have admired their work from both inside and outside."
The
trailer does contain the warmth that is primarily required in a film high on
food and emotion. The film appears as a fast-paced narrative, ending on an
emotional dangling. The chef is co-produced by Bhushan and Krishan Kumar's
T-Series Films, Abudantia Entertainment and Bandra West Pictures.
The film will be served
hot and hit the screens on 6 October.
