Saif Ali Khan reacts to Sacred Games controversy

Saif Ali Khan is winning raves for his outstanding performance in the Netflix original Sacred Games which premiered on 6th July, 2018. Though critics and audiences have showered loads of love on the series, recently some politicians in India raised their objection over portraying former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in a bad light.

Talking over the controversy, National award-winning actor Saif said in an interview, “If you date someone from the wrong caste, somebody will kill you in some parts of India. That’s just the way it is. I don’t know how much you can criticise your government in India, somebody might kill you.”


He went on to add, “It will be deeply frustrating if something happens to the show. If someone says you can’t air this or if Netflix is discontinued. Then that will be my turn to be outraged.”

Talking about Khan’s upcoming film projects, the actor will next be seen in Baazaar. Besides that, he is also shooting for Navdeep Singh’s untitled war movie which is being produced by Aanand L Rai.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
