He came. He saw. He conquered. A man that walks with a dazzling charm, a nonchalant attitude and an air of self-awareness. Our March cover star is someone who many look up to for his poise and sophistication but as we sat down for a conversation about everything from cricket, movies, social media and cars, I discovered something more. Saif Ali Khan is one of the wittiest and most honest men I’ve come across. He is confident and sure of what he wants and there is a beautiful version of the world through his eyes which I was lucky enough to get a peek into.

EX: You have been on a roll with Tanhaji and Jawaani Jaaneman. – what other projects in 2020 are you looking forward to?

I am currently shooting for the sequel of Bunty Aur Babli for Yash Raj Films in Abu Dhabi which is great fun. I am also going to do Bhoot Police with Pawan Kriplani. These are two projects I am most excited about in the foreseeable future. Both are fun comedies - one’s a horror-comedy and one’s a family comedy and both the roles are equally exciting and fun.

EX: Is there a role you want to give us an insight about?

Um, I don’t want to say anything about that, you’d probably have to go watch it for yourself in the theatre [smiles].
