Saif Ali Khan: This is the first movie that I have done, whose language I like

Saif Ali Khan will mark his 60th film with ‘Kaalakaandi’. The film releases today and already everyone is praising the actor, even Aamir Khan had the most things to say about Saif. The ‘Kaalakaandi’ actor praises his director, as Saif feels that Akshat is an accomplished director. “I’ve made a lot of movies with a lot of people and I can say that Akshat is an accomplished director. ‘Kaalakaandi’ has good performances and a nicely-orchestrated story. He has done it well as he is also the writer of the film. He seems quirky but he has made a commercial film.”


The actor further adds, “This is the first movie that I have done, whose language I like. In each of these stories, the actors speak the language that they are most comfortable with. For instance, my character talks in English and Hindi because that’s the way most of us city folks converse. We talk to our peers in English, converse with our domestic help in Hindi and, perhaps, at home we speak our mother tongue. Akshat has maintained this throughout ‘Kaalakaandi’. That’s something I enjoyed because it made things organic. So, I feel the comedy works.”


Besides Saif, the ensemble cast of the film includes Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, Akshay Oberoi, Neil Bhoopalam, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Sobhita Dhulipala, Shenaz Treasury, Shivam Patil, Amyra Dastur, and Isha Talwar. The film has three story tracks — one with Akshay and Saif, the other features Vijay and Deepak, while the last one has Kunaal and Sobhita.
