These
days
Saif,
for
sure
is
on
cloud
nine.
Not
just
on
the
personal
facade
(his
current
girlfriend
Kareena)
but
on
the
professional
front
too.
Year
2008
is
on
high
spirits
for
Saif
as
his
two,
keenly
awaited,
big
banner
films
Race
and
Tashan
are
seasoned
for
the
first
quarter.
While
Director
duo
Abbas-Mastan's
thriller
genre
film
Race
is
planned
to
release
in
February2008,
then
Tashan
a
Yash
Raj
film
directed
by
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya
who
wrote
the
screenplay
and
dialogues
for
hits
like
Dhoom
and
Dhoom
2,
is
intended
to
release
in
April
2008.
If
one
goes
a
year
back,
coincidently
our
Chote
Nawab
Saif
inaugurated
2007
on
a
similar
note
with
two
big
banner
films
Eklavya-
The
Royal
guard
and
Ta
Ra
Rum
Pum
in
the
first
qaurter,
though
both
the
films
could
not
spell
magic
at
the
Box-office,
but
the
former
fetched
enough
appreciation
for
his
performance&India's
official
entries
to
the
Oscars
and
the
later
one
did
moderately
well.
Also
if
one
were
to
go
a
step
ahead,
incidentally,
one
of
the
two
films
then
and
now
is
a
Yash
Raj
Film.
Though
2007
was
nothing
great
for
Chote
Nawab,
Hope
year
2008
turns
out
to
be
an
unbeaten
one.
