Saif Ali Khan is supremely busy!

Any guesses as to why?

Well, the actor is involved in the post-production of his second venture, Agent Vinod - the movie allegedly inspired from Hollywood's Mr. and Mrs. Smith. There have been alter reports too, stating that it is a typical remake of a 70's movie, with Kareena Kapoor playing a spy in a negative role. But Saif rubbishes all that and claims it would be incorrect to call Kareena's character 'negative' or even one of 'a spy'. Essentially an action thriller, there is much more to Agent Vinod, Saif explains, than should be conjectured sans formal announcements from the team itself.

In this formal tete-a-tete with Saif, he was questioned next about the obstacles involved in production work. A positive and confident Saif, (we put that to the success of Love Aaj Kal last year) replied that the entire feeling of being in overall control was in fact fun, as long as finances and affairs in totality were taken care of in an organized way. When he mentions next, his delight at the Telgu remake of his 2009 production debut Love Aaj Kal, we know we were bang on spot guessing the source of his easy demeanor!

Questions don't end, cause there are the IPL rumors to be addressed. Although his bid with lady love Bebo did not materialize for either of the two new IPL teams introduced, Chote Nawab is not a disappointed man. He clarifies that although he had shown keen interest to pursue a franchise ownership, there was only so much he could dole out in terms of budget constrains. And understanding that same, he settles with IPL not being 'his cup of tea'. (Smart confession that, Saif! What can't be attained, was never all the worth!)

Can he say the same about the Padma Shri Awards controversy? That, Saif states, has been put behind him. He adds that he has always remained diplomatic, and if the Government of India has chosen to bestow this award on him, he accepts it graciously, and takes it that they believe him to be worthy of the award. No more spoken, and no more judgments!

We're glad Saif, that you come clear with the many conflicts that involve your name. It presents a big clear picture, and is indeed the right way! Meanwhile, here's wishing you the very best for Agent Vinod!
