Actress
Soha
Ali
Khan
says
she
was
delighted
to
see
her
director
Tigmanshu
Dhulia
and
co-star
Irrfan
Khan's
mutual
fondness
translate
beautifully
in
their
upcoming
film
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
Returns.
"It
was
lovely
to
see
the
chemistry
between
Tigmanshu
and
Irrfan
because
they
have
worked
so
often
together
and
they
really
feed
off
each
other's
creative
energy.
You
could
see
Tigmanshu
get
visibly
excited
whenever
Irrfan
was
working.
It
was
enjoyable
to
see
an
actor
and
director
get
along
so
well," Soha
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
Irrfan
and
Dhulia
first
worked
together
in
Haasil
in
2003,
Charas
in
2004
and
last
year's
Paan
Singh
Tomar,
their
most
successful
film
till
date.
The
combination
of
Dhulia's
visual
aesthetic
and
Irrfan's
acting
prowess
has
made
the
pair
the
cinematic
powerhouse
that
they
are
today.
Besides
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
Returns,
Irrfan
is
all
set
to
play
villain
in
Dhulia's
Bullet
Raja,
which
stars
Soha's
brother-Saif
Ali
Khan.
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
Returns
is
the
sequel
to
the
2011
film,
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster.
The
film
also
stars
Jimmy
Shergill
and
Mahie
Gill,
who
will
be
seen
reprising
their
roles
from
the
previous
film.
Irrfan
and
Soha
are
new
additions.
In
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
Returns,
the
34-year-old
actress
plays
an
oppressed
wife.
Soha
said
she
did
have
apprehensions
to
star
in
the
film
as
she
plays
neither
the
'saheb',
'biwi'
nor
'gangster'.
"I
was
concerned,
because
as
any
selfish
actor
you
would
want
to
know
what
your
screen
time
is
and
what
your
role
is.
and
especially
when
the
film
is
called
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
Returns
and
I
am
neither
of
the
three.
I
wanted
to
know
exactly
what
my
role
was," she
said.
"But
when
I
met
him
and
he
narrated
the
script,
I
was
very
happy
with
my
character.
Whatever
I
have
seen
in
the
film
while
dubbing
for
it,
I
really
thought
it
was
great.
There
are
four
main
character
in
the
film
and
and
all
have
been
given
enough
scope
to
make
an
impact.
Every
character
is
colourful.
Mine
seems
more
innocent
and
vulnerable
in
the
beginning
but
also
develops
shades
of
grey
as
the
film
progresses,"
Soha
added.
The
actress
also
said
that
she
is
glad
that
Dhulia
asked
her
to
be
part
of
his
film
before
it
was
too
late.
"I
am
so
glad
he
offered
me
this
film
because
post
the
release
of
Paan
Singh
Tomar
and
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster,
he
himself
has
become
such
a
rage.
I
had
so
many
reasons
to
do
this
film.
He
is
on
a
roll.
There
is
no
looking
back
for
him,
so
I
don't
know
if
I
would
have
had
this
opportunity."
"I
am
happy
to
have
it
before
it
was
too
late.
He
is
a
wonderful
writer,
actor,
director.
It
is
exciting
for
a
young
actor
to
work
with
a
director,
who
can
really
bring
out
a
performance
-
gives
you
amazing
dialogues,
creates
drama
when
there
is
none.
It
was
really
a
rewarding
experience
to
work
with
him," Soha
said.
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
Returns
will
hit
theatres
on
March
8.
