Saif on reacting to the failure of Sara Ali Khan’s Love Aaj Kal

Starring Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan in lead roles, Love Aaj Kal was one of the most awaited films of 2020. The audience had pinned a lot of hopes on it as it was a reboot of filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s 2009 hit of the same name, featuring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in central characters.

Despite great pre-release buzz, Love Aaj Kal failed to click with the audience and turned out to be a huge box-office disappointment. Recently, actor Saif Ali Khan was asked how he reacted to the failure of daughter Sara Ali Khan’s Love Aaj Kal.


He said, “I did message her and ask if she was alright. Of course, it is a romantic and nice fatherly notion (to hold your daughter’s hand through hardships), but I don’t think it is really needed. I think she is quite tough and smart and she gets it. And I told her, ‘You have to go through this’.”

Sara Ali Khan debuted in Bollywood with Abhishek Kapoor’s Kedarnath. The film did good business at the box-office and the debutante received overwhelming response for her performance in it. She followed it up with another hit in her kitty in the form of Rohit Shetty’s Simmba (2019). After two consecutive successes, receiving flak for her performance in Love Aaj Kal was a first for the newcomer.

Saif said that parents always want to hep their children and they are always there. “She has not really talked about it. Parents want to help and they are there. It is really something you have to go through.”

Sara Ali Khan will next be seen in David Dhawan’s comic-caper Coolie No. 1 alongside Varun Dhawan. She also stars in Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re, co-starring Dhanush and Akshay Kumar.

Lewis Hamilton rewrote the rules of racing on screen, says F1 director: ‘We built the film around his mind’

Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula One film, titled F1, owes much of its realism and racing soul to none other than seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. According to director Joseph Kosinski, the film wouldn’t exist in its current form without Hamilton’s hands-on involvement, from the first pitch to the final details.

Kosinski, best known for Top Gun: Maverick, shared that Hamilton was the first person he contacted when the project was just an idea. An email led to a partnership, and Hamilton came on board not only as an executive producer but as a consultant whose lived experience shaped everything from the screenplay to on-track movements.
