After reports that Dinesh Vijan, his partner in Illuminati Films, is branching out to do ventures on his own, Saif Ali Khan has been quick to deny any rift between them. Far from a divorce, this seems to be an open marriage.

After reports that Dinesh Vijan, his partner in Illuminati Films, is branching out to do ventures on his own, Saif Ali Khan has been quick to deny any rift between them. Far from a divorce, this seems to be an open marriage.
Mumbai Mirror had reported yesterday that Dinesh Vijan is making a film outside the Illuminati banner which will be directed by Homi Adjania.
Saif, who earlier remained unavailable for comment, told us how things actually stand between him and Dinesh. "I am extremely proud of Illuminati Films. Dinesh is not just my partner in production, he is like a brother to me. We are equal partners in Illuminati Films but at the same time I would also be working with outside producers. I also have my own production company in which I am the sole stakeholder.
I haven't named the company yet, but tentatively it will be called Saif Ali Khan Productions. So I will make some films under this banner, some under Illuminati. Also, there will be films which Dinesh will make under his own individual production - which is only fair. Rumours about him doing a film without him and me doing a film without him are a fact. There is nothing wrong in it. In fact, we are quite excited about that."
Confirming that Dinesh will be producing the Homi Adjania film by himself, Saif added, "I will be helping him. The mother company is Illuminati. Every year we will be making films for this banner. We already have plans. We will be doing one more Agent Vinod film and talks are on for more films.
Hopefully we will have an exciting announcement soon. Siddharth Anand's film will be made under my individual banner. I will be doing three films over the span of 18 months. The other films are with Kunal Kohli and Vishal Bhardwaj."
Speaking about Agent Vinod, Saif said, "We have shot the first schedule and we start the second schedule from 25th August. We hope to wrap up the film by November and are aiming for a summer release."
