CONFIRMED: Chef director Raja Krishna Menon denies Kareena Kapoor Khan has a cameo in Saif Ali Khan s Chef

Reports in sections of the press that Saif Ali Khan s better-half Kareena Kapoor Khan makes a brief appearance in his latest starrer Chef had the film s director, the highly regarded Raja Kirishna Menon keeling over with amusement. Where do they get such false information from? Kareena Kapoor Khan doesn t have any role to play in Chef, says Menon.

The rumour probably started when there was no report of Saif s leading lady in Chef. It was being speculated that the film s makers wanted to keep Kareena s presence a secret. However the directors informs that Saif Ali Khan s leading in Chef is the talented Telugu, Tamil, Malayali, Bengali, Hindi actress Padmapriya who was last seen in a Bollywood film playing opposite Siddharth Suryanaryan in Chandan Arora s Striker in 2010.
