Saif Ali Khan is all set to have four releases this year - 'Baazaar', 'Chef' which was to release in June but got pushed and 'Kaalakaandi' that was to hit theatres in September. Another film that saw Saif in a lead role, 'Rangoon', already hit theatres on 24th February this year. Apart from the film, Saif will also be seen a web series titled 'Sacred Games', a show based on the best-selling novel by author Vikram Chandra.

During the launch of web series, when Saif was asked about the ongoing censorship debacle, the actor opined, "The fact that there is lack of censorship and we will be able to tell our stories in truth is very exciting. I don't like the idea of too many constraints so this book is so layered and to be able to present that without having going to 500 institutions and seek permission to express yourself freely is good."

When said that he was one of those few A-List actors who has agreed to do a web series, Saif added, "It is not like a strategic move to be better or faster than anybody else, the way I see is that it is exciting to be a part of the creative world."

Well, the actor is known for making unconventional choices, and there is no doubt that the web series too will turn out to be win-win for Saif.
