Chandan
Roy
Sanyal,
who
was
last
seen
in
the
ill-fated
Bangistaan,
is
super-excited
about
his
next
flick,
which
is
Saif
Ali
Khan's
Chef.
The
actor
will
be
seen
playing
a
sous
chef
to
Saif's
titular
character
in
the
comedy-drama.
His
character,
Nazrul,
fondly
refers
to
Saif
as
'Guru'
in
the
film.
Chandan
in
an
interview
to
Mumbai
Mirror
further
revealed,
"My
character
works
with
Saif
in
a
New
York
restaurant
and
is
a
self-appointed
disciple," informs
the
36-year-old
actor
who
has
already
shot
for
70
percent
of
the
film
and
will
resume
for
the
remaining
portions
in
January.
We
are
currently
on
a
Christmas
break."
He
said,
"Raja
has
adapted
the
film
beautifully
by
adding
Indian
flavours
and
food
to
it.
It's
set
in
Kerala,
Goa,
Amritsar
and
Delhi," further
revealing
that
he
enjoys
cooking
Indian
and
Bengali
cuisine,
and
that
mutton
curry
and
poshto
dal
bhat
are
his
favourites.
When
asked
about
his
off-screen
equation
with
Saif,
Chandan
added,
"We
got
along
well
because
we
have
similar
taste
in
cinema
and
literature.
Saif
is
great
fun
to
work
with.
We
did
a
few
workshops
together
to
learn
how
to
cut
vegetables,
toss
veggies
in
a
pan,
among
other
things,
like
professional
chefs.
He
keeps
telling
me
that
he
will
invite
me
to
his
place.
Maybe
it
will
happen
soon."
Chef
is
the
Bollywood
adaptation
of
the
Jon
Favreau-starrer
2014
Hollywood
film
of
the
same
name.
Meanwhile,
the
actor
will
also
be
seen
in
Shahrukh
Khan-
Anushka
Sharma
starrer
The
Ring
which
has
him
playing
an
illegal
Bangladesh
immigrant.
