Saif sacrificing two for one

In Ramu's film he was supposed to play Veeru but he was more inclined towards his role of Cassius in 'Othello'. He couldn't bag Mani Ratnam's film due to date hassles. The dates of the film collided with Siddarth Anand's next in which Saif is starring. Saif tells that all the three films offered him good and big roles. It was tough to choose between them but he had to make a decision. He was tongue in cheek for Othello as it was his desire to be in a big gangster film. He will begin shooting for the film from January 2006.

"It is a very good script and I get to do a rustic character who has a UP accent. I've never done it before and it has got some cool dialogues", adds Saif.

Currently he is back from his tour of Zurich and is working on his appearance for the film.
