Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan presently has three films in
his kitty - Kaalakaandi, Chef and Baazaar. All three movies are unique from one
another when it comes to the content and the stories.
Speaking about the range of movies and relearning his craft
with a famous news portal, Saif told, "Kaalakaandi and some of the other
stuff I’ve done like Chef and Baazaar, probably ignited in me this desire to
hone my craft better and work at it harder. Working with a fantastic breed of
actors and actresses who are so free, unfazed and natural only inspires you to
do better."
Talking in detail about Kaalakaandi specially, the actor disclosed,
"I was thinking about how to approach this role in Kaalakaandi, make it
believable and not fall into the trap of playing to the gallery. So, I bought a
lot of books to read on acting and techniques etc. A lot of it is academic and
homework, but that’s what preparation is all about."
Speaking about his Kaalakaandi co-stars Deepak Dobriyal and
Vijay Raaz, Saif specified, "It is one of the best movies I’ve been in.
Deepak Dobriyal and Vijay Raaz are like Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. I have never
seen better acting in any film I’ve been in. I just want to somehow thank them
for the experience."
Saik spoke fondly of Akshat Verma, the director of
Kaalakaandi. He told, "Akshat (writer/director) has done a stellar job
reflecting the soul of Mumbai. It highlights its underbelly and counterculture
so brilliantly, and for that, it needs to be celebrated. Who would have Vijay
Raaz and me in the same film? One of us would be the item. One of us would be
the joke… but Mumbai has us both. So does the film. And us being
ourselves."
Kaalakaandi is scheduled to release on September 8, 2017.
