Saif Ali Khan To Play A Naga Sadhu In His Next! Read Details
Saif Ali Khan's upcoming movie is pretty interesting as he's all set to play the role of a Naga Sadhu. The movie is titled Hunter and is set in the period of 1780.
Saif
Ali
Khan,
who
was
last
seen
in
the
movie
Chef
that
bombed
at
the
office,
is
all
set
to
play
the
role
of
a
Naga
Sadhu
in
the
upcoming
period
drama
Hunter.
The
movie
is
set
in
the
year
1780
and
Saif
revealed
that
he
even
pierced
his
ears
and
grew
his
hair
long
for
the
role.
He
opened
up
to
TOI
by
saying,
"My
character
is
a
failed
Naga
Sadhu,
who
has
strong
notions
of
revenge.
The
film
is
a
drama
set
in
Rajasthan.
I
even
got
my
ears
pierced
for
the
role,
which
I
was
worried
about
initially.
My
hair
has
grown
a
lot."
He
further
commented,
"It
bothered
me
throughout
summer
when
I
was
shooting
in
Rajasthan's
sweltering
heat.
It
took
me
40
minutes
to
two
hours
sometimes
to
just
get
into
hair
and
make-up
for
the
part."
Saif
gave
out
a
few
more
details
about
the
movie
and
said,
"I've
always
felt
that
there
is
one
entity
that
is
giving
me
things
that
I
don't
deserve.
That's
how
I
feel
for
the
role,
also.
It's
too
good
to
be
true
and
it's
a
complete
experience.
And
though
it
takes
ridiculous
two
hours
of
make-up
and
hair,
it's
like
the
journey
of
a
character
in
a
Westerner
(a
Western
film),
who
goes
into
another
space
all
together
with
his
experiences.
It's
so
fulfilling
to
watch
old
forts
in
Rajasthan
come
alive
because
of
these
shoots."
Also,
if
you
remember
a
few
weeks
ago,
Saif
Ali
Khan
was
seen
playing
gully
cricket
in
Rajasthan
and
Kareena
Kapoor
&
Taimur
were
cheering
for
him.
Now
we
know
why
Saif
was
in
Rajasthan,
he
was
there
shooting
for
his
upcoming
movie
Hunter.
It's
good
to
see
even
Saif
Ali
Khan
getting
into
the
period
drama
bandwagon,
folks!
