Soon after the release of the movie Humshakals, Saif had spoken about it saying that it was a mistake and that it was not his kind of humour. He also mentioned that he himself could not sit through the entire movie. In an interview with DNA, Saif mentions that Sajid was indeed saddened by these statements of his. He also adds that he has tried to patch up with the Humshakals director but to no avail.
Saif said, "I didn't disown Humshakals. I played a shining main lead and worked very hard for all the four roles. I had a blast working with Sajid, who I love personally. My colleagues tell me you haven't promoted any other film with so much heart. But if the film doesn't run, I feel something is wrong. We have made a wrong kind of movie. That's all I am saying."
When asked if Sajid was upset, he said, "Apparently, yes. I haven't sorted it yet. I mean I have sent messages to him, but he hasn't replied. I am allowed to say that I think we have made a wrong film because I have also worked for it. It's not that I have insulted his jagir (property), as such."
No happy ending here, it seems.
