Saif Ali Khan to team up with filmmaker Rahul Dholakia?

Most recently seen in Colour Yellow Productions’ Laal Kaptaan (2019), Saif Ali Khan is currently looking forward to the release of his next film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior which features him in a negative role. The historical drama also stars Ajay Devgn and Kajol in lead roles and is set to arrive in theatres on 10th January, 2020. The trailer of the movie, which was released recently, has been received greatly by the audience, with everyone praising Khan’s evil look in it.

After Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Saif Ali Khan will be seen in his home production Jawaani Jaaneman alongside Tabu. The film marks the acting debut of former model and actress Pooja Bedi’s daughter Alaia Furniturewala. Jawaani Jaaneman will be followed by Fox Star Studios’ Dil Bechara wherein he plays an important character.

The latest we hear that the National Film Award winning actor has added yet another interesting project to his resume. According to fresh reports, Saif Ali Khan has given his nod to star in filmmaker Rahul Dholakia’s next directorial offering which still remains untitled.

Reportedly, the forthcoming project is a thriller and revolves around the strong bond between a father-daughter duo, which was one of the main reasons Khan agreed to come onboard. Ananya Panday is rumoured to have been cast to play his daughter in the film. If everything works out well, the team is looking at beginning production in April 2020.

Saif Ali Khan is also rumoured to have given his nod to Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli 2 alongside Rani Mukerji and Siddhant Chaturvedi. The film is a sequel to 2005 hit Bunty Aur Babli, originally starring Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji. The makers are yet to announce the project officially.
