His stock market shark act in Baazaar aside, Saif Ali Khan has often described his role in Navdeep Singh's upcoming film as one of his most challenging to date. The film, tentatively titled Hunter, has the actor playing a Naga sadhu, replete with free-flowing dreadlocks, kohl-lined eyes and pierced ears. When pictures from the film's set made its way online, netizens didn't waste time in likening his look to that of Johnny Depp's character Jack Sparrow from the Pirates Of The Caribbean series.
Point out the parallels being drawn between the two looks, and Khan says, "I can't believe that I let the similarities with Jack Sparrow happen. Kiaan Raj [Karisma Kapoor's son] and my son [Ibrahim] saw the photographs way before they were leaked, and their first reaction was, 'Hey, that's Jack Sparrow!' The comparisons were made because of the jacket, the dreadlocks and some other elements. I was doing two hours of make-up every day. It was like going to war every day — we would shoot in the middle of nowhere [in Rajasthan], in the heat. I play a failed Naga sadhu who is obsessed with revenge. He kills a British soldier, and that's where he gets the jacket from."
