Saif Ali Khan is all set to don a chef's hat for his next movie aptly titled Chef. The movie is a remake of the 2014 American comedy of the same name which then starred Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. Saif's movie is being helmed by Airlift director Raja Krishna Menon. 

Recent reports have suggested that wife and actress Kareena Kapoor Khan may have a cameo in the movie. When we contacted Raja, however, he dismissed the rumours and stated that Kareena does not have a cameo in the movie. 

Earlier, Kareena had a brief but memorable role in Saif's romantic comedy movie Happy Ending. 

Chef is slated to release on July 14, 2017. The movie will be clashing with Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer Jagga Jasoos as well as Shraddha Kapoor's movie Haseena: Queen of Mumbai. 

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Saif spoke in detail about the movie as well as director Raja. He said, "It is a father-son story. It is about a husband and wife divorce-marriage story. It is about redemption and second chances. So it is quite a deep film." 

He added, "Raja Menon is one of the brightest and dedicated filmmakers I have worked with and he has got a different take on things. Not different but matured and sensitive take. He has made, well I hope one of the best films that I have been a part of. I am very lucky to have got him as a director at this stage after he did Airlift. It is a big hit. He could have done anything after this but the producers asked him to write this script. And when they asked him his first choice, he said Saif Ali Khan. That is a great compliment. I hope I have given him something to be proud of."
