Abundantia, a venture of Vikram Malhotra, the former CEO of Vicom18Motion Pictures bought the remake rights for Chef from Favreau’s Fairview Entertainment.

“Ever since I first saw Chef, I knew that this film had to be made in India,” said Malhotra. “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.”

Meanwhile, Favreau commented “”I’m excited to see how this personal film translates to the Indian culture. The themes of food, music and family should resonate well.”
