SAIF in Abbas Tyrewala's next?

Saif on Abbas' mind

After a good start with Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na with Aamir Khan Productions, Abbas Tyrewala's directorial career graph went downhill with the John Abraham starrer Jhootha Hi Sahi.

Undaunted, the filmmaker is back with a new script. And this time around, he has his eyes set on Saif Ali Khan for the male lead in his film. Talking about casting Saif in his upcoming project, Abbas said, "We are just discussing one of the various ideas I have. There are no commitments or firm plans yet."

A source informed Mumbai Mirror, "Abbas had come to meet Saif when he was shooting in Hyderabad last month. Abbas narrated the script and Saif seemed pretty happy with it.

Later when Saif returned to Mumbai, Abbas met him again. Things seem to be on track. However, they will not declare the project till they finalise the script. Saif may also produce the film."

Confirming that he had met Saif in Hyderabad, Abbas said, "I am just talking to him the same way I have been talking to other actors.

This is just to see whether we can collaborate. And as far as going to Hyderabad for the script narration is concerned, this is what filmmakers do between projects."
