Wednesday, 9th Mar 2016, 2:55 PM IST There have been a lot of reports about the remake of Hollywood flick ‘Chef’. It was said that Akshay Kumar might replace Saif Ali Khan in the film. However, the film's spokesperson dismissed the rumours asserting that Saif would be playing the lead role in the film. The actor will be taking some serious culinary lessons before the film starts rolling in September. A source said, "‘Chef’ is Favreau's (Jon Favreau) passion project. He wrote the food-centric script in two weeks and it is semiautobiographical, incorporating parts of his life into the character of Carl Casper. Like Carl, Favreau who helmed the big-budget ‘Iron Man’ studio extravaganzas to go back to basics with the small budget ‘Chef’ which he co-produced with restaurateur Roy Choi who created the Kogi Korean BBQ food truck. To play the part to perfection, he trained at a culinary school and worked in Choi's kitchen making Cuban sandwiches." According to the grapevine, even before the final handshake with Favreau in Los Angeles, the ‘Happy Ending’ actor was the only choice to play the title role. The source said, "He embodies the character. He has an uber cool attitude that appeals to urban sensibilities and the requisite experience to pull off this multilayered role. He is a father himself and is at the right age to step into Favreau's shoes." "Right now they are getting together all the ingredients before they start the cooking," added the source.
