From the understated Sartaj Singh in Sacred Games to the revenge-hungry Naga sadhu in Laal Kaptaan, Saif Ali Khan's career choices have been as unpredictable as they have been interesting. The actor is ready to kick off the year with Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior that sees him slip into the role of the Rajput warrior Udaybhan Rathod, who took on Maratha general Tanaji Malasure in the Battle of Sinhagad. "Udaybhan is insanely wicked. He is like Joker from the Batman movies. He is a great warrior, and is smart, but he is also unhinged because of the episodes that have happened to him in the past. The idea was to show the character as crazy yet lucid."
