Mumbai: After surviving a lull phase in his Bollywood career, seems like Saif Ali Khan is finally arriving.
Hands tied with multiple projects, the actor seems to have a busy 2017.
The Nawab will be seen in ‘Chef,’ ‘Baazaar,’ ‘Kaalakaandi,’ and has reportedly been approached by director Nikhil Advani for a film on the Batla House encounter case.
Latest, according to a leading daily is that director Kabir Khan too, has approached the ‘Phantom’ star for a web series ‘The Forgotten Army,’ which is about Subhash Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army.
A source informed the daily saying, “Saif and Kabir share an excellent rapport, and have been wanting to work together. The series is about the soldiers who worked for the INA more than about Bose. Kabir has discussed the idea with Saif and while he has shown interest, he is yet to sign on the dotted line for the project. But if he does, he will play a soldier from Bose’s troupe.”
Well, we all know that Kabir Khan’s heart lies in making documentaries.
He has displayed his admiration for projects on war, espionage, spies and terrorism in films like ‘Ek Tha Tiger,’ ‘Kabul Express,’ ‘New York’ and ‘Phantom.’
He is currently busy with his upcoming film ‘Tubelight’ with Salman Khan and Sohail Khan, while Saif is engrossed with ‘Baazaar,’ along with spending quality time with his baby Taimur Ali Khan.
