“A refreshing change to portray the good guy”, Saif Ali Khan confirms he will play an idealistic cop in Vikram Vedha

From playing the boy next door in Dil Chahta Hai to playing an evil character like Udaybhan Rathod in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Saif Ali Khan has done it all. He has proved his versatility as an actor with his dynamic choice of projects.

Saif is currently working on his upcoming horror-comedy film titled Bhoot Police. The film also stars Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam, and was one of the first few films to go on floors after the lockdown. Speaking about getting back to work, the actor says that it was initially scary.

Besides Bhoot Police, Saif has other exciting projects lined up. In a recent interview, he confirms that he is a part of Vikram Vedha and will be playing a righteous cop in the film. 

After playing a few negative characters on screen, Saif is excited to step into the shoes of a cop. "I will play an idealistic cop, so I will have to find a way to make him fun. But it will be a refreshing change to portray the good guy” he tells Mid Day.

Next up, Saif will also be seen in an exciting avatar of Lankesh in Om Raut’s Adipurush. He will play the antagonist opposite Prabhas, who will essay the role of Lord Ram. Talking about playing a negative role, the actor said, “I have always enjoyed grey roles more than milky white characters. In Adipurush, I am playing the ultimate negative character. But, after a point, it gets depressing if you are constantly being wicked. I also worry about being repetitive.” 

Meanwhile speaking about his personal life, Saif Ali Khan is awaiting the birth of his second child with wife Kareena Kapoor Khan.
