Well, for him it IS a risk. Saif for the longest time was being type cast into romance and rom coms. Tried and tested formulas. He decided to venture out. It's a risk coz it was his own production, so it's not like he just randomly signed some film, got his pay and then dosent have to worry.
It's double the risk when it's your own production. THat action thriller was a risk from the perspective of a producer, not an actor. Go Goa Gone was even MORE risky. From both perspectives - actor and production.

LAK made money, as did Cocktail. Saif can easily have just kept making successful rom coms and that would be that. But right after LAK he made Agent Vinod. It's a risk.

ANd yes, Guzaarish is also a risk, so kudos to Hrithik.
Srk in MINK was also a risk. As was Ra.One. I'm not taking away from their outings.

But Saif's had more examples than them, barring Aamir.

He wanted to get rid of that image, he couldn't find a producer, since he was rich enough, he produced it himself.

AV's success or failure wasn't going to change Saif's life in the monetary perspective.

He did it because he was getting typecast in those rom com roles like you said. There was no danger involved considering if that fails, he could always get back to his rom com mode for success, which he did with Cocktail.

I'd call AV an experiment more than a risk.

I would say Shahid is a great risk taker..
Early on in his career..he tried different types of movies like Fida & Shikhar..

He invested almost 2 years exclusively for Mausam..& things did not work out..

He changed his whole body type (bulked up) for Kaminey..a dark film with Vishal who hadn't given any hits till then..& it paid back big time..

Now he is the first hero of his generation to step into total action mode in R..Rajkumar..has broken all his body parts..😆..Lets see how it works out..

Why doesn't he produce a heroine oriented film for his begum? That, would be a real risk.

That's like saying Kareena takes risks lol.
Shahid is much like Kareena in the sense that he chases commercial success and has rarely experimented. One Kaminey doesnt mean much.

Compare that to Saif's Ek Hasina Thi, Being Cyrus, Parineeta, Go Goa Gone, Omkara.
Juggling alongside a a film where he plays a terrorist, a film where he plays a spy agent, a film where he plays a Russian mafia zombie exterminator.

Coz more poeple often compare Shahid and Kareena's script sense as being one of the worst of the industry. Especially coz both end up wasting their talent. That's why the comparison 😆

Oh Please..they are no way comparable..😆 ..Its all in your mind..😛

Shahid is extremely intelligent while Kareena is known far & wide for her dumbness..😆

As for wasting talent..I would say Saif is the poster boy for that..along with his Mrs..😛

Umm...you clearly havent read the posts on IF have you?

Shahid is hardly known for script sense. If you think I'm mkaing this up, go on and open up a topic asking if Kareena and Shahid can be compared with their script sense.
You'll get your answer.

Saif script sense >>>>> Shahid and Kareena's script sense.

Fact.
