Curiosity over Ajay Devgn's ambitious
project Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior, has
been paramount ever since the actor
announced the film. It will be directed by
Om Raut and speculations and excitement
about the film has increased manifold. The
latest buzz in the Bollywood fraternity is
that Saif Ali Khan tops the maker's list for
the role of the antagonist. Apparently, the
Sacred Games actor is in talks with the
producers for the film.
A leading daily reported that the Taanaji
team believes that Saif will be a perfect fit
for the role of Udaybhan Rathod, the Rajput
officer appointed by Jai Singh, chief of the
Mughal army under Aurangzeb to take care
of the fort. The film is based on the Battle of
Sinhagad in 1670. The battle was fought
between Tanaji Malusare, a commander in
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's army, and
Udaybhan. The former died in the process
of recapturing the Sinhagad Fort from the
Mughals.

There has been no official confirmation
about the casting, but if Saif gives his
assent to the film then this will be the
fourth time the two actors will be seen in
the same film. Ajay and Saif have previously
worked together in Kachche Dhaage (1999)
and Omkara (2006). They have also shared
film credits in LOC Kargil (2003) but didn't
share the same frame as the film had an
ensemble cast. One of Saif's most notable
performances in his film career was in
Omkara where he played the role of Langda
Tyagi. The film was an adaptation of William
Shakespeare's play Othello directed by
Vishal Bharadwaj.
Saif iss currently enjoying the success of
Netflix's Sacred Games, which marked his
digital debut. He is also prepping for his
role as a Naga Sadhu in Hunter. The actor
currently has his kitty filled with a Luv
Ranjan project alongside Ranbir Kapoor, a
part in Neeraj Panday's film as Chanakya
and is set to feature in Syed Abdul Rahim's
biopic, the legendary football coach of
Indian team.
