Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has had an interesting career in Hindi film industry. Right from doing typical 1990s dramas to playing the man that has commitment issues, Saif has tried to do many roles with changing times. He took risks in terms of the roles he chose to portray on screen. Kya Kehna, Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Dil Chahta Hai, Darna Mana Hai, Ek Hasina Thi, Parineeta, Salaam Namaste, Being Cyrus, Omkara, Eklavya: The Royal Guard and Aarakshan: the evolution of Saif the actor is there for all to see.

The actor’s last release, titled Chef, was an Indian remake of the American film of the same name. Chef was directed by Raja Krishna Menon about a failing chef and father trying to get his life in order, professionally as well as personally. The film was definitely worth a watch.

Saif will next be seen in debutant director Akshat Verma’s dark comedy Kaalakaandi. In an interview, Akshat, who has also written the movie, had requested people not to compare it with another dark comedy that he had written–Delhi Belly. Kaalakaandi’s trailer is edgy and as interesting as Delhi Belly.

Kaalakaandi is mainly about “who people are when no one is looking,” according to writer-director Akshat Verma’s earlier interview with Scroll. In fact, the writer had also said that the film deals with the people who are at the fringes of the underworld and are trying their best to make a sense of their lives within that said bubble.

In Sriram Raghavan’s Ek Hasina Thi, Saif Ali Khan’s character was also not what he had seemed in the initial parts of the movie, a man who had connections in the underworld.

The madness, darkness and comedy can be seen in the two-minute-and-twenty-two-second-long trailer.
