The movie will be produced by Abundantia Entertainment, Eros International and Alumbra Entertainment. Jon Favreau, who directed and starred in ‘Chef’, said, "I'm delighted to see ‘Chef’ get an Indian remake. I'm excited to see how this personal film translates to the Indian culture. The themes of food, music and family should resonate well." Vikram Malhotra (Founder & CEO of Abundantia) said, "Ever since I first saw ‘Chef’, I knew that this film had to be made in India. Charming relationships, a feel-good story and a unique journey of self-discovery make ‘Chef’ the ideal film to bring alive in an Indian context. Add to that the blazing spirit of entrepreneurship and the rapidly evolving food scene in India and the context for a Hindi remake is brilliantly set. We are proud and honored that an icon of Hollywood like Jon Favreau has chosen us to take forward his passion-project in another part of the world. I am also delighted that one of the finest actors in our country, Saif Ali Khan, will helm the title role in the Hindi version". Sunil Lulla, who is the Managing Director of Eros International Media Ltd, said, "Eros has been at the forefront of breaking content barriers and taking Indian movies worldwide. Be it our global blockbusters like ‘English Vinglish’, ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ or our upcoming line-up like ‘Bajirao Mastani’, we are keenly focused in making content speak a universal language. We are delighted to bring a special film like ‘Chef’ to the Indian audience in their own language and look forward to working closely to make ‘Chef’ connect to millions of movie-goers in the Hindi language."
