Saif Ali Khan is at a very interesting phase of his career right now. His villainous turn as Udai Bhan in the period drama, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, and the cool-as-a-cucumber demeanour in Jawaani Jaaneman in the same month displayed his versatility. He already has films like Bunty Aur Babli 2, the Vikram Vedha remake, and Bhoot Police coming up.
And now, Bollywood Hungama reports that he has also been roped in to play the antagonist once again in Om Raut's next period drama, Adipurush, which stars Prabhas. A source close to the film told the portal, "Yes, Saif will feature in Adipurush. In fact, after seeing Saif's performance in Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior, Om was rather keen on casting him again."
