After playing a rustic villain in 'Omkara', Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is now playing a Sikh in his forthcoming film 'Love Aaj Kal' and took Punjabi classes to get the right accent for the role.

'Saif plays a Punjabi in 'Love Aaj Kal'. But he didn't have the accent of a Sikh guy. So Saif mastered it by taking training for Punjabi diction. Saif got himself a tutor to train him to speak the language,' a source said.

In 'Love Aaj Kal' Saif has teamed up with Deepika Padukone. It is Saif's debut production and is directed by Imtiaz Ali of 'Jab We Met' fame.
