Saif Ali Khan is all set to re-invent himself as an actor. Last seen as a naïve Sikh police officer on the Netflix series Sacred Games, Khan has transformed into another unique character for his next titled Hunter.
The Internet almost broke when new photos of the actor emerged of him in a completely unrecognizable avatar with long dreadlocks, bandana, and a long unkempt beard.
Directed by Navdeep Singh, Khan will be seen playing the role of Naga Sadhu. Reportedly, the film is revenge-drama between two brothers fighting for power.
In an interview with a daily, Khan said his character is “almost like an animal… As the story is set against a war backdrop, I had to learn sword fighting and different forms of action. There’s a lot of post-production and VFX work involved in this project as it will have many war sequences.”
The first schedule of the film has been completed in Rajasthan, and the second schedule is well under-way in Mumbai. Actress Zoya Hussain of Mukkabaaz (2017) has also been roped for the film.
It’s refreshing to see a leading actor with over two decades in the industry still open to experimenting. Though his past few releases haven’t been Box Office successes, his choices to play challenging roles have been appreciated not only by critics, but by viewers as well.
Khan also has Baazaar by director Nikhil Advani and the second season of Sacred Games in the pipeline.
