He's
an
actor-producer
and
has
also
crooned
for
his
film
Happy
Ending.
But
the
one
thing
Saif
Ali
Khan
shies
away
from
is
helming
as
he
feels
"directors
work
too
hard
and
don't
get
paid
well".
"Well
my
reason
is
not
politically
correct...
But
I
believe
they
(directors)
work
too
hard
and
don't
get
paid
enough
and
this
is
the
truth.
Director
is
the
first
man
in
and
the
last
man
out.
It's
his
baby,
but
the
star
makes
all
the
money.
I
don't
think
it
is
fair," the
actor
told.
At
a
time
when
most
of
the
movies
are
minting
good
business
at
the
box
office,
the
44-year
old
actor
firmly
puts
script
over
box
office
success.
"I
will
pick
script.
I
was
not
paid
for
'Go
Goa
Gone'
and
I
think
my
heart
was
in
the
right
place
because
I
loved
the
movie.
But
then
another
truth
is
that
'life
is
not
free' so
success
is
also
important,"
said
the
actor.
"I
am
aiming
for
commercial
success
but
with
a
nice
movie.
I
will
do
good
movies.
The
films
that
I
have
picked
up
now
are
all
going
to
be
good
films
even
if
they
are
not
100
crore
films," he
added.
The
actor,
who
was
in
the
capital
to
promote
his
film
Happy
Ending,
was
earlier
seen
in
movies
including
Humshakals
and
Bullett
Raja.
Both
the
films
failed
to
create
ripples
at
the
box
office
and
Saif
says
it's
time
for
him
to
reinvent.
"I
think
it's
time
for
me
to
reinvent.
I
took
it
easy
and
experimented
something
new.
But
now
I
can
feel
the
hunger
again.
I
think
Parineeta
was
beautiful.
Now
I
am
thinking
of
making
a
Rabindranath
Tagore's
story,"
he
said.
"I
am
a
good
actor
and
I
think
I
can
do
period
well,"
the
actor
added.
The
actor
also
feels
that
the
audience
expects
their
stars
to
act
in
a
particular
manner
and
that
is
why
films
are
made
around
it.
"It
is
a
kind
of
a
trap.
But
I
think
they
(audience)
will
be
disappointed
if
they
see
Salman
Khan
doing
a
movie
like
The
Lunchbox,"
the
actor
said.
Saif
will
be
next
seen
in
Kabir
Khan's
film
Phantom
with
Katrina
Kaif.
