Saif Ali Khan says Main Khiladi Tu Anari was a Hollywood copy: ‘Director said never play a cop’
- What Saif Ali Khan revealed about a classic 90s film.
- The surprising advice he got about playing a cop.
- And our take on this peek behind the Bollywood curtain!
We just heard something wild from Saif Ali Khan! Remember his super popular 90s flick, Main Khiladi Tu Anari? The one with the catchy songs, cool moves, and that buddy-cop vibe? Well, Saif just spilled a big secret.
He says the whole movie was actually a copy. A Hollywood copy! Whoa. It turns out the director, Deepak Shivdasani, had watched a Hollywood film, thought it was super cool, and decided to make a similar one. That’s a fun bit of movie history, right?
And there’s more. Saif also shared some interesting advice he got during that time. His director told him, plain and simple, “never play a cop.” Sounds like a very specific instruction! But hey, actors get all sorts of guidance.
Think about the movie’s visual style. It had such a distinct 90s aesthetic – the bright colors, the action sequences, the whole playful energy. Even if the idea was borrowed, the Bollywood magic made it unique. We loved seeing him in that role, a perfect mix of cool and comedic.
Saif Ali Khan has been in the news lately, even reacting to his viral Kartavya poster-blessing moment with his usual charm. He’s always good for an honest chat.
Speaking of iconic visuals, have you checked out Alia Bhatt picking Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Devdas premiere appearance as her most ‘iconic’ Cannes look? Talk about a memorable moment!
And away from all the movie chatter, we’re also keeping an eye on ITV and Sky still being in ‘active discussions’ over a sale. Big moves in the TV world!
Our Take
We think it’s pretty cool that Saif is so open about these things. It gives us a little peek behind the curtain of how films were made back then. A director seeing something great and adapting it? It happens. And that advice about not playing a cop? Hilarious now, given how many different roles actors play. We love that he’s sharing these bits of film lore with us!
