Jon Favreau's indie flick "Chef" will be remade into a Bollywood film, and Saif Ali Khan will take the lead role in the Hindi-language re-creation of an acclaimed chef who quits his restaurant job and reinvents himself by starting his own food truck, according to Variety.
The Bollywood remake, which does not have a director yet, will be produced by Abundantia Entertainment, Eros International and Alumbra Entertainment, the companies announced on Wednesday. Eros International will handle the film's distribution worldwide.
Abundantia acquired the rights to the film from Fairview Entertainment, a production company founded by Favreau, who not only starred in the original but also wrote and directed the film.
