"My cowboy boots is my Tashan" - Saif Ali Khan
Nature justified its justice by having got this dashing young man in Bollywood his debut film Parampara. What followed after that were hits and superhit films like Kal Ho Na Ho, Parineeta, etc…which only reaffirmed the fact that Mother Nature can never go wrong with her decisions and that Bollywood is the place where Saif Ali Khan rightly belongs! We get you an exclusive interview with the Man-Fit-To-Be-King, Saif Ali Khan, as he gears himself for the release of his forthcoming blockbuster Tashan!
What
do
you
think
about
the
music
of
Tashan?
I
think
it's
a
great
album,
it's
got
varied
amount
of
music
because
I
think
our
director
is
also
like
that.
It's
a
classic
Hindi
film
in
the
sense
that
after
a
long
time
there
is
a
film
that
covers
a
wide
range
of
commercial
kind
of
emotions.
Its
also
very
modern
and
contemporary
in
terms
of
there
is
a
song
like
'Dil
Dance
Maare'
which
I
think
is
a
great
song
,almost
funny
but
at
the
same
time
quite
hip.
There
is
this
really
romantic
number
'Falak'
which
I
think
is
a
wonderful
song
there
is
also
'Dil
Haara'
which
is
my
song
which
I
think
is
also
very
romantic,
quite
Sufi
and
intense.
Kareena's
solo
song
'Challiya'
I
think
is
also
very
cool,
I
love
the
lyrics
so
over
all
it's
a
great
album
really
nice
and
different
What
was
it
about
this
film
that
made
you
decide
to
do
it?
Actually
it's
quite
funny,
the
first
time
Victor
narrated
it
to
me
over
one
an
a
half
hour
in
Adi
Chopra's
study
and
I
said
no
because
I
didn't
understand
some
parts.
I
am
not
very
good
with
narrations;
I
would
rather
read
a
script.
So
I
was
told
to
take
the
script
home
and
read.
I
loved
it
and
I
started
laughing
my
head
off
at
2
am
in
the
morning
at
some
of
the
dialogues
because
I
just
thought
it
was
very
unpredictable.
It's
a
classic
Hindi
film
story
in
a
way
but
at
the
same
time
the
treatment
is
so
different
with
a
lot
of
new
technique.
But
the
basic
plot
is
a
classic
revenge
story
but
it
doesn't
look
like
it
because
it
starts
of
as
a
love
story
and
moves
into
a
road
movie
and
then
goes
into
a
full
on
revenge
drama
so
that
was
exciting
and
also
very
funny.
It
was
the
script
that
made
me
want
to
be
a
part
of
it.
It's
definitely
going
to
be
the
hottest
film
of
the
year.
The
look
in
the
film
is
really
appreciated
can
you
tell
me
something
about
it?
I
think
it
was
the
title
Tashan,
which
required
everybody
to
have
a
little
bit
of
Tashan.
Like
the
red
belt
which
my
character
wears
through
out
the
film,
the
kind
of
moustache
that
he
has
and
the
haircut
everyone
is
a
little
off
in
the
movie
but
at
the
same
time
like
I
said
that's
the
film
everyone
has
a
Tashan.
Everyone
is
a
little
bit
off
so
this
was
the
look
Aki
Narula
came
up
with
some
really
nice
clothes
like
Cargo's
and
T-shirts
and
decided
that
I
would
never
wear
jeans,
slightly
an
off
kind
of
guy
but
without
being
weird
so
there
is
this
fine
line
which
I
think
was
very
nicely
handled.
Can
you
tell
us
something
about
the
character
you
play
in
Tashan?
I
am
playing
this
guy
called
Jimmy
who
is
a
bit
of
an
odd
character.
He
has
had
a
strange
sort
of
childhood
where
his
father
used
to
dress
him
up
in
white
clothes
like
Jeetendra
and
make
him
dance
publicly.
Because
of
which
he
is
a
little
bit
off.
He
works
in
a
call
center,
very
romantic,
lives
alone
and
he
keeps
picking
up
chicks
from
the
call
center.
But
eventually
he
falls
desperately
in
love
with
the
Kareena
Kapoor's
character
and
his
life
ends
up
turning
into
utter
hell,
which
in
the
end
actually
turns
out
to
be
the
best
adventure
he
has
ever
been
on.
And
that's
what
makes
a
film
like
Tashan
extremely
special
because
unlike
a
lot
of
Hindi
films,
its
about
what
we
lack
the
most
in
our
lives,
which
is
adventure.
That's
why
probably
we
go
to
the
movies
to
feel
and
go
to
another
world
and
be
carried
away
into
that
kind
of
a
rollercoaster
ride
by
getting
shot
at
and
being
in
lots
of
trouble,
finding
love
and
loosing
it,
money,
gunfights.
Basically
an
unpredictable
life.
It
was
good
fun.
How
was
your
experience
working
with
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya?
Victor
is
a
great
man,
he
is
a
loyal
friend,
and
he
is
an
old
school
kind
of
a
staunch
gentleman
in
many
ways.
But
when
you
look
at
him
in
his
moustache
he
may
seem
a
little
odd.
Although
is
not
mundane
and
his
film
is
unpredictable
even
his
brief
to
us
different.
As
actors
personally
we
got
along
very
well,
he
makes
me
laugh
to
no
extent,
it's
like
therapeutic
to
sit
with
him
because
he
really
does
have
a
big
laugh.
Neither
of
us
take
ourselves
too
seriously
we
share
quite
a
unique
bond
I
think,
he
understands
me,
expects
the
best
from
me
and
brings
out
the
best
and
I
like
to
give
it
to
him.
I
think
of
him
as
a
mentor
and
I
somehow
confess
all
my
sins
to
him.
The
second
I
saw
him
I
knew
I
could
trust
him
that
way
and
as
a
director
he
would
just
usually
ask
me
to
surprise
him
and
to
not
let
the
performance
be
expected.
What
the
character
is
going
to
do
next,
the
lines
also
should
sound
like
they
just
happened
and
weren't
prepared.
He's
a
cool
guy
and
he's
made
a
very
cool
film.
What
according
to
you
is
your
Tashan
Factor?
I
think
as
an
actor
I
would
like
to
think
that
I
try
and
play
things
naturally
and
not
really
try
and
play
hero
but
to
try
and
play
a
character
and
let
the
situation
decide
whether
he
is
heroic
or
not.
And
the
Tashan
of
anything
would
be
no
matter
how
many
times
you
are
doing
it,
to
make
it
look
like
its
been
done
for
the
first
time
ever.
That
moment
should
be
real
I
suppose
that's
what
Tashan
is.
My
cowboy
boots
is
my
Tashan.
Can
you
tell
us
something
about
your
experience
shooting
for
the
song
'Dil
Haara'?
I
have
this
tendency
to
go
on
a
holiday
during
Christmas
and
New
Year
and
since
I
work
with
Adi
Chopra
so
often
that
he
knows
this.
Christmas
and
New
Year
is
a
good
time
to
eat
and
drink
so
one
tends
to
put
on
a
little
bit
of
weight.
And
Adi
said
he
wants
this
song
to
be
the
item
of
the
movie
and
he
wants
to
shoot
it
in
Greece.
In
his
exact
words,
"If
you
are
going
to
party
over
New
year's
and
Christmas
and
going
to
come
back
looking
like
a
Papa
I
will
shoot
the
song
in
Bombay
on
some
set
and
I
will
be
very
disappointed." So
unfortunately,
I
had
to
starve
for
the
greater
part
of
my
trip
to
Hong
Kong
while
I
don't
think
it
is
a
six
pack
which
is
a
bit
much
to
expect
but
I
will
get
there
soon.
I
did
try
and
did
manage
to
lose
a
fair
amount
of
weight,
luckily
I
ended
up
looking
good
and
they
were
happy
because
they
are
used
to
seeing
me
fat.
The
song
was
it
at
this
beautiful
Greek
island
called
'Milos',
it's
a
beautiful
island
which
has
underwater
caves
and
of
course
being
a
movie
we
ended
up
going
there
in
the
middle
of
winter
and
worked
in
freezing
cold
weather
in
the
water
so
it
was
hellishly
torturing
in
that
sense.
We
had
some
great
dancers,
Aki
Narula
styled
it
really
well,
shot
fantastically
well
by
Bose
one
of
the
most
talented
cameraman
I
have
worked
with
and
Vaibhavi
in
fine
form.
I
think
everyone
was
quite
happy
at
the
end
of
it.
So
what
do
you
say
about
Vaibhavi
Merchant's
choreography?
Vaibhavi
is
great;
I
have
been
watching
her
for
a
long
time.
I
have
been
working
with
her
on
and
off
for
a
while.
I
think
one
of
her
first
film
was
with
me;
she
used
to
assist
Chinni
Prakash
at
one
point.
We
have
all
been
around.
She
is
great
and
lots
of
fun
to
work
with,
and
thoroughly
professional
and
expects
you
to
give
your
best
and
so
does
she
and
I
think
she
is
quite
happy
also
with
this
song.
I
think
after
a
long
time
we
have
got
something
quite
special
together.
Tashan
has
a
lot
of
action
sequences.
How
was
it
learning
action
with
Peter
Hinne?
I
have
a
Tashan
war
wound
which
happened
to
me
while
kicking
a
can
in
the
middle
of
an
action
sequence
with
Peter.
On
the
set
he
just
gets
everyone
into
the
mood
to
do
great
stuff.
I
would
love
to
work
with
him
again
and
I
simply
love
him.
The
action
in
the
film
is
much
larger
than
life,
it's
like
a
comic
book
action,
its
bigger,
its
not
just
a
few
gunshots;
its
thousand
bullets
going
off
and
cars
skidding
on
fire
using
cables,
its
great
fun,
very
exhausting
but
great.
Everyone
got
banged
and
hurt
everyday,
which
is
what
it
was
all
about.
I
love
action
films,
love
watching
them
and
love
working
in
them.
Haven't
worked
with
Akshay
Kumar
in
a
while
but
there
is
bound
to
be
a
bit
of
action
unless
we
do
one
of
those
slightly
romantic
films
together
which
I
am
happy
we
didn't
do.
Any
one
memorable
incident
during
the
shoot
of
the
film.
I
had
rented
an
Enfield
in
Ladakh,
I
used
to
ride
it
to
work
everyday
.It
was
one
of
the
most
exhilarating
and
liberating
experiences
of
my
life.
It's
a
very
beautiful
countryside
up
there,
so
some
good
music
on
the
headphones
and
riding
the
bike
was
fantastic.
It
was
a
great
one-month
schedule.
You
are
sporting
a
moustache
for
the
first
time.
What
was
it
like
and
would
you
like
to
have
one?
I
think
I
would,
i
enjoyed
the
moustache,
I
was
a
little
uncomfortable
with
it
initially
because
I
thought
it
looked
funny.
Then
I
grew
into
it
quite
well
and
I
have
seen
many
people
now
with
a
similar
kind
of
a
moustache
so
it
is
cool
now.
I
would
like
to
keep
a
heavy
stubble
and
longer
hair
once.
What
is
it
like
working
in
a
multi
starrer
film
as
opposed
to
a
solo
film?
You
get
to
get
a
little
bit
worked
up
about
what
the
other
person
is
doing
which
is
always
exciting.
I
always
enjoyed
a
multi
starrer
when
I
was
a
kid.
I
think,
if
you
are
confident
about
your
role,
it
doesn't
really
matter.
In
fact,
sometimes
it's
a
bit
more
fun
to
work
off
other
peoples
energies.
I
think
Akshay
and
I
have
a
tremendous
complimentary
sort
of
quality
with
each
other
on
films
because
we
come
from
different
worlds.
So
it's
interesting
when
you
put
us
together,
it
always
has
been
with
different
body
types
and
different
screen
presences.
We
work
very
well
off
each
other,
its
like
Terrance
Hill
and
Bud
Spencer
-
one
short
and
one
tall
guy,
so
its
an
interesting
pad.
I
like
to
work
in
films
that
I
would
like
to
watch
so
it
really
does
not
make
a
difference.
This
is
probably
your
sixth
film
with
Akshay.
How
does
it
feel
pairing
up
with
him?
Akshay
Kumar
has
become
one
of
the
best
actors,
when
I
worked
with
him
first
he
use
to
say
that
you
do
the
acting
and
I
will
do
the
action
but
now
I
think
he
is
doing
both
almost
better
then
anyone
else.
A
remarkable
sense
of
comedy
and
acting,
I
haven't
worked
with
him
in
a
while,
I
really
enjoyed
it
this
time,
and
I
am
dying
to
see
what
it
looks
like.
It's
always
great
and
we
compete
quite
seriously
with
each
other,
which
is
really
good.
He
makes
up
things
sometimes
that
are
not
in
the
script
so
it
drives
me
mad
and
then
I
would
make
up
things
that
is
not
in
the
script
and
then
eventually
we
get
a
good
scene
or
we
just
start
doing
shit
and
the
director
says
what's
going
on
but
its
always
fun.
Anil
Kapoor
is
a
super
class-apart
actor.
Any
comments
on
his
performance.
Anil
Kapoor
is
not
only
one
of
the
most
talented
actors
I
have
ever
worked
with,
he
is
also
one
of
the
least
selfish
and
most
giving
person
I
know.
I
think
he
is
at
a
point
in
his
career
where
he
can
share
so
much
of
wisdom
to
juniors
and
he
is
so
positive
about
everything.
He
is
one
of
the
most
positive
people
I
know
and
he
considers
working
in
films
a
privilege,
which
it
is.
He
feels
that
if
you
are
working
in
80
degrees
heat
and
you
have
to
wear
a
suit
he
say's
don't
think
about
it
as
you
are
unlucky
and
it's
a
job
in
fact
consider
it
a
privilege
and
think
it's
great.
He
is
super
to
work
with
and
you
learn
a
lot
from
him.
He
is
very
professional.
Kareena
Kapoor
as
an
actor
has
grown
a
lot
your
comments.
True,
I
am
working
with
Kareena
after
LOC
for
the
first
time.
It
was
great,
she
is
really
good,
very
easy
to
work
with,
and
very
spontaneous
she
kind
of
moulds
herself
to
whichever
actor
she
is
working
with
that
I
think
I
have
noticed.
If
you
want
to
rehearse
she
rehearses
if
you
don't
then
that's
fine
too.
