Don’t give him a unidimensional, all-white role — he’ll probably balk at the idea. Saif Ali Khan revels in playing morally grey characters, complete with vices and vulnerabilities. He cites the example of his upcoming film Bhoot Police, in which his protagonist is far from the typical do-no-evil hero. The actor plays a fake ghostbuster, only too happy to fleece people who believe in spirits.
“[My character] is not all-good or all-bad; he has got a nice mix of [traits]. It’s more interesting to play characters that are edgy. In life, people are not black or white; most of them lie [somewhere in between]. It’s more natural to play characters like that,” says Khan. Every once in a while, he veers into the all-black territory, as he did with his Udaybhan Singh Rathod act in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020).
