Saif
shot
off
a
missive
to
Aditya
Chopra
expressing
disappointment
about
the
way
his
role
in
Tashan
shaped
out
and
about
how
it
was
edited
Letters
appear
to
be
the
latest
fad
in
B-Town.
After
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra's
letter
to
Shahrukh
Khan,
Saif
Ali
Khan
has
now
dashed
off
a
missive
to
Aditya
Chopra
and
Yash
Raj
Films
expressing
his
disappointment
and
hurt
over
the
way
Tashan
shaped
up.
Says
a
source,
"Saif
believes
in
speaking
his
mind
if
he
feels
strongly
against
something
and
then,
moving
on.
When
Tashan
released,
he
was
unhappy
with
the
way
the
film
had
turned
out.
He
felt
that
not
only
had
his
role
turned
out
to
be
quite
different
from
the
narration
given
but
that
it
had
also
been
chopped
quite
a
bit
at
the
editing
table.
Kareena
and
he
were
shocked
at
Tashan's
dismal
turnout."
Although
the
film
was
released
in
April,
the
timing
of
the
letter
makes
you
wonder
whether
this
is
Saif's
way
of
ensuring
that
he
doesn't
get
the
short
end
of
the
stick
again
with
his
next
YRF
film
which
is
ready
for
release.
The
source
adds,
"Saif
dashed
off
a
letter
to
Adi
telling
him
all
he
thought
about
Tashan
and
his
role
in
it.
Saif
wrote
about
how
he
felt
let
down
by
the
film.
It
was
an
emotional
letter
-
revealing
Saif's
hurt
and
disappointment.
Also,
he
felt
that
Yash
Raj's
next,
Thoda
Pyar
Thoda
Magic,
directed
by
Kunal
Kohli,
looked
promising.
This
time,
he
requested
Kunal
to
show
him
the
film
before
its
release.
Kunal
did
that.
Saif
loved
the
film." Saif
doesn't
deny
writing
a
letter
to
Adi
but
adds,
"Aditya
and
I
communicated.
That's
it.
I
did
feel
my
role
didn't
come
across
as
well
as
it
did
on
paper.
Aditya
and
I
spoke
about
it
and
we
agreed
that
it
was
best
for
the
overall
narrative
of
the
film.
I
think
we
have
all
moved
on
to
other
things
and
we
should
let
this
matter
rest.
Right
now,
I
am
really
looking
forward
to
Thoda
Pyar
Thoda
Magic."
Ashish
Singh,
VP
-
Yash
Raj
says,
"There's
no
truth
in
this.
Saif
leads
in
our
next,
TPTM
and
came
down
specially
for
the
launch
in
spite
of
being
in
Australia
and
being
unwell.
He
is
also
an
integral
part
of
Roadside
Romeo
and
YRF
cherishes
our
relationship
with
him."
