Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan will star in the acclaimed director Hansal Mehta’s upcoming flick. This marks the first collaboration between the two, adding to the anticipation surrounding the project.
During an interaction with Mid Day, Mehta said that a film is being developed by Saif and him and he is directing it. He said that the film is based on a novel while he was in Chandigarh for the Cinevesture International Film Festival.
The actor has long been on Mehta’s wish list of collaborators. While details about the book adaptation remain under wraps, the announcement has already generated buzz in the industry.
Despite his new project with Khan, Mehta remains keen on reuniting with Kareena Kapoor Khan. He revealed that he has already sent a script to the actress and consistently considers her for roles. Praising her professionalism, Mehta stated, “Every time I look at a script, I ask, ‘Can we do something with Kareena?’ She is one of the most prepared persons on set, a thorough professional, and always happy. It was as if I was working with Pratik [Gandhi] or Rajkummar [Rao].”
Mehta also recently launched his production house, setting multiple projects into motion.
