Saif Ali Khan believes in love... period! Be it Aaj or Kal... our Nawab has never failed to fall in love. In a candid chat with Renuka Vyavahare , actor Saif Ali Khan confesses to have matured and evolved over the years when it comes to love in real life clarifying, “It’s unfair to say too much love has been happening in his life!
Love Aaj Kal comes at a time when too much love has been happening in your real life.
(Smiles) It’s unfair to say that there’s too much love happening in my life. You guys (media) is largely responsible for what has been going on in my life.
Love Aaj Kal is your home production, Kareena’s your girlfriend and a seasoned star. Wouldn’t Kareena been a safer bet instead of Deepika?
None of my directors listen to me (laughs). Deepika is a new face. She is very Indian and a mature actor. Her personality grounds my personality in a way what Rani Mukherjee does to me. We are of different types, Deepika is earthy while I am more western and this contrast makes us interesting onscreen.
Newcomer Harleen has been ignored in the promotions, is it a deliberate move?
Main focus of the film is Deepika and I. Harleen plays an important character but it would be misleading to say she plays the lead too.
You play a Sikh in Love Aaj Kal like what Akshay and Salman did recently.
Sardarjis would be proud by my accurate and honourable representation of my Sikh character. I had a dialogue coach who helped me on my Punjabi accent. I haven’t seen Salman but Akshay in Singh Is King was more glamorous and cool; he looked stagy and larger than life while I play the more real, down to earth Sardar. If my Langda Tyagi was genuine because of my diction, this one should be liked too. My beard, trousers everything looks real.
Has the concept of love changed over the years for you in real life too?
I am not that old but may be I’ll write a book on it. I feel you live and learn and you evolve.
There are lot of kisses in Love Aaj Kal.
They are not really intimate scenes as I feel as Indians they make us a bit uncomfortable.
Has Kareena seen Love Aaj Kal?
Yes she has and she liked it.
People compare you to Brangelina.
I am Saif Ali Khan of the Bombay film industry and that sounds fine.
As a producer how has the experience been?
I’ve been a big fan of secret societies. I had thought of Lucifer before but then we settled for Illuminati as my production house’s name. I ensured that people get paid on time and get good food as a producer.
