Saif
Ali
Khan
says
it
was
a
conscious
decision
to
not
play
the
lead
in
his
upcoming
home
production
Go
Goa
Gone
as
he
was
more
interested
in
the
project
as
a
producer.
It
is
for
the
first
time
that
the
actor
is
not
playing
the
lead
in
his
own
production.
The
zombie
comedy
revolves
around
two
guys,
played
by
Vir
Das
and
Kunal
Khemu.
Saif
joins
them
later
as
Boris,
the
gun-toting
zombie
killer.
"I
was
more
interested
in
this
film
as
a
producer
than
as
an
actor.
Producing
is
a
creative
job
as
well
and
not
every
film
will
have
a
great
role
for
you
though
Boris
is
very
entertaining.
I
look
forward
to
producing
many
more
films
where
maybe
I
don't
act
at
all," Saif
told
PTI.
Produced
by
Saif's
banner
Illuminati
Films,
the
film
is
directed
by
Raj
Nidimoru
and
Krishna
DK,
the
duo
behind
critically
acclaimed
films
like
'99'
and
Shor...
In
the
City.
Go
Goa
Gone
hits
theatres
on
May
10.
The
actor-producer
is
confident
that
despite
zombies
being
an
alien
concept
for
Indian
audiences,
the
film
will
work
in
the
comedy
format.
"I
always
thought
that
the
film
was
very
funny.
I
don't
think
the
concept
is
very
alien
and
it
works
really
well
because
it
is
a
comedy.
Sometimes
if
you
take
chances
and
try
something
new,
it
can
be
an
exciting
investment
because
the
rewards
can
be
big," he
says.
Saif
(42),
will
be
seen
sporting
blonde
hair
and
tattoos
in
the
film
and
the
actor
says
he
enjoyed
experimenting
with
his
look.
"The
look
was
pretty
much
there
in
Raj
and
DK's
script
and
I
just
agreed
with
it.
You
can
get
scared
to
do
things
which
are
not
necessarily
what
your
image
is.
But
people
take
it
in
the
right
spirit
when
the
intention
is
to
entertain
and
be
fun," says
Saif.
The
film
was
given
an
A-certificate
which
will
restrict
below
18
audience
from
watching
it,
but
Saif
is
not
unhappy.
"There
is
a
lot
of
action,
comedy
and
violence.
With
the
zombie
comedy,
the
idea
is
to
create
humour
in
violence.
We
have
people's
heads
blowing
up
so
you
have
to
have
an
A-certificate.
I
am
happy
that
censor
board
allowed
it."
100
crore
has
become
the
new
benchmark
for
success
in
Bollywood
but
Saif,
who
has
produced
films
like
Love
Aaj
Kal,
Agent
Vinod
and
Cocktail
in
the
past,
does
not
feel
threatened
by
it.
"The
issue
in
India
is
that
you
have
diverse
audience.
There
are
the
front-benchers
and
then
there
are
intelligent
audience.
To
make
both
happy
is
the
idea,
but
it
is
not
always
possible,
"
he
said.
"The
idea
of
100
crore
is
slightly
outdated
because
the
business
is
growing
everyday.
200
crore
is
really
not
that
much
considering
the
billion
people
in
this
country.
We
would
like
to
make
a
200
crore
film.
I
think
Indian
films
should
rule
the
whole
Southern
Mediterranean
belt,"
he
further
added.
