Sara Ali Khan is all set to come together
with Ranveer Singh for Rohit Shetty's
Simmba and we couldn't be more excited.
Director Rohit Shetty claims that Sara is a
total masala heroine material and is perfect
to be cast opposite Ranveer's cop character
in the film. But we all know that Sara's first
film was supposed to be Kedarnath
opposite Sushant Singh Rajput. Due to a
dispute between its director and producers,
the movie was stalled for a while and that's
when Sara's dad Saif Ali Khan stepped in to
get her out of this sticky situation. In an
recent interaction with media, Saif
confirmed that after Kedarnath got stalled
he did not want his daughter's debut to get
jeopardised.
He spoke to Karan Johar who is co-
producing Simmba and luckily the lead
actress for the film was not fixed and
hence, Sara could grab this opportunity. Saif
also stated that he was not involved when
Sara signed Kedarnath but now, it was a
time for him to get involved and so he did.
He further said that he has been keeping
track of it and, of course, it bothered him
because he wanted things to go smoothly
with her, like any other parent would want.
Saif then said that he is very happy that she
got a movie with Karan and now he can
afford to take a back seat and wait for Sara
to work on the two projects that she is
shooting for Kedarnath and Simmba.
According to sources, Saif and Kareena
Kapoor Khan always wanted Sara to make
her debut with their good friend but
apparently Saif's ex-wife and Sara's mother
Amrita Singh did not want the same. She
was the one who urged Sara to take up
Kedarnath. During that time, Saif Ali Khan
had said that he is not the kind of father
who would read scripts to her daughter
and interfere in her career.
On work front, Saif will be seen in two films
Hunter and Bazaar next.
