Mumbai is really cinematic, reveals Saif Ali Khan!

Actor Saif Ali Khan, who is gearing up for his next movie "Kaalakaandi" which is extensively shot in Mumbai, tells the city has a cinematic vibe to it.

He feels the movie's director Akshat Verma has shown the city in the movie magnificently.

"I think Mumbai is really cinematic, and Akshat has shown it wonderfully. Bandra particularly has a lot of character and personality. You feel it's shot in a real place and you feel that instant connect to the place," Saif told in a statement.

The 46-year-old actor will be seen depicting Rileen in the movie.

"Kaalakaandi" is a Marathi slang for when things go terribly wrong. The movie is a dark comedy about life, death and karma.

It also stars Amyra Dastur, Akshay Oberoi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Deepak Dobriyal, Neil Bhoopalam and Vijay Raaz.

It is one of the best movies I’ve been in, says Saif Ali Khan on Kaalakaandi!

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.
