Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the official Hindi remake of Jon Favreau's 2014 Chef, but swaps Cuban sandwiches for Kerala-style appams and adds a whole arranged-marriage-backstory layer.
Saif Ali Khan trained with actual Mumbai chefs for months. The roti-flipping? All him. No stunt double for the dough trauma.
