Saif, the original ‘Kaminey’
It has come out that Saif Ali Khan was supposed to do Vishal Bharadwaj's `Kaminay'. But the director spoke to him about it only to pass it on to Shahid Kapoor.
The director-actor duo shared a great rapport thanks to the success of `Omkara' and Saif's amazing performance.
But Vishal is a perfectionist and eventually started feeling that Shahid would be the better choice for the script.
He started thinking that the role required a young actor and what turned on Vishal instantly was the thought of taking on the challenge of turning a chocolate boy into what is now seen in the promos.
So `Kaminey' could very well bring a change in Shahid's career like what `Omkara' did for Saif Ali Khan.
Now wonder actors vouch for Vishal Bharadwaj's work! Changes for the better are always welcome. -Sampurn Media
