It’s known that actor Saif Ali Khan’s last few films have done well at the box office, but in a recent interview the actor revealed that he now wants to focus on making films that match his sensibilities. “I feel I lost touch with myself in recent times and I don’t know why. I was listening to other people’s conviction. I feel it’s the time to do what I believe in and stick to my conviction and sensibilities whether I do films like ‘Parineeta’, ‘Omkara’ or ‘Hum Tum’… I would like to do such films again. I have generally been an erratic person by nature, which I am being bored of now. I want to be more consistent now and give things right amount of respect,” Saif said. It’s noted that the 44-year-old actor was last seen in the much criticised multi-starrer comedy ‘Humshakals’ this year.
Saif would next be seen on the big screen in ‘Happy Ending’, which is a spoof on romantic comedies. The film also stars Govinda, Ileana D’Cruz, Ranvir Shorey, Kalki Koechlin besides Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor in special appearances and is expected to hit theatres on November 21. Talking about the film, Said said, “It’s a story about somebody who has a problem with commitment and love. It’s a bit like a Woody Allen movie, a mature film. I am really proud that we made this film because it’s a kind of spoof on romantic comedies.”
It’s noted that Said is also co-producing the film, for which he has teamed up with his ‘Go Goa Gone’ directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. When asked about it he said that as he feels his sensibilities match with the director duo, and hence the decision to collaborate. “We three met during ‘Go Goa Gone’ and I really like the style of their working. The way they wrote my character in that film was really interesting… ‘Happy Ending’ is a fresh film that Raj and DK have made. Our sensibilities match and we hope that we do lots of good work in the future as well,” he said.
When asked what kind of films he likes to do, Saif said, “It’s important to make good money at the box-office. Some films can do that while some films can’t and that doesn’t mean that those films are not good films… I like to do a mix of everything. I would like to do a film which hits Rs.200 crore at the box-office and at the same time I would like to do a film which won’t make that much but would be for intelligent audience.”
Saif Ali Khan will also be seen in Reema Kagti’s yet untitled project soon.
