Saif Ali Khan

Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan, Yami Gautam and Jacqueline Fernandes will be the guests this Saturday on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’. The trio will be promoting their new film ‘Bhoot Police’ in which Yami and Jacqueline play sisters plagued by an ancient ghost while Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor become their ‘shamans’ in shining armour.

During a candid question answer session, Archana Puran Singh asked new fathers Saif Ali Khan and host Kapil Sharma about their favourite lullaby that they sing to their children.

At first Saif said that all singing is done by Alexa and Kapil replied that he plays the catchy tune ‘baby shark’ for his daughter: “A small kid cannot understand words so they can listen to anything, it does not matter. My daughter is one and a half years old. For her I play ‘baby shark do do do do do do’.”

Talking about lullabies, Saif recalled an incident with his first born, daughter Sara Ali Khan when she was a baby: “I used to sing an English lullaby called Summertime when Sara was really young, and suddenly she opened her eyes and said, ‘Abba please don’t sing.’ From then on, I can’t sing. Even the baby said ‘don’t sing'”, which made the audience laugh heartily.

‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

Saif will next feature in the Hindi remake of the 2017 Tamil superhit film Vikram Vedha. The film also stars Hrithik Roshan.

The original starred R. Madhavan as righteous police officer Vikram while Vijay Sethupathi played the gangster Vedha. In the Hindi remake, Hrithik will play the gangster while Saif essays the cop.

The film draws from the ancient lore of Vikram-Betaal, where a wily gangster manages to escape every time a determined cop nabs him, by narrating a new story drawn from his own life.

Earlier Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan was expected to play the character of Vedha. However, as per reports, Aamir recently backed out of the project, and Hrithik was roped in.

The Bollywood remake will be directed by Pushkar-Gayathri, who also helmed the Tamil original. The film, backed by Neeraj Panday, is expected to go on floors soon.

Apart from “Vikram Veda” Saif will feature in Om Raut directorial ‘Adipurush’ starring Telegu superstar Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Sunny Singh.

The film is an adaptation of Ramayan, where Prabhas features as Lord Ram while Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan will be seen essaying Ravan. According to sources, Kriti will play the role of Sita and Sunny will play the role of Lakshman in the film.
