Saif is excited!

When it comes to daughter Sara’s debut, the actor feels as if his own film is releasing

Saif Ali Khan is all excited for the acting debut of his daughter Sara with Kedarnath and the actor said it feels like his own film is releasing. Saif will begin 2018 with his upcoming release Kaalakaandi, while Sara’s debut feature film Kedarnath will open in December the same year.

When asked how he feels about his daughter’s film releasing the same year as his, Saif told reporters, “I am happy, I am excited for her. I think when we get close to that release, it will be like my own film is releasing.” The first look of the film was released recently and Saif said he is confident “that she (Sara) will be very good.”

The actor was speaking at the trailer launch of Kaalakaandi, which also stars Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, Kunaal Roy Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, Akshay Oberoi, Isha Talwar, Shenaz Treasury, Shivam Patil, Amyra Dastur and Neil Bhoopalam.

“I wouldn’t call Kaalakaandi a niche film, I’d call it unpretentious. It was a lot of fun. They were all good actors and I think my acting has improved after working with some of these guys,” he said.

The movie will be Saif ’s first release after this year’s Chef. The 47-yearold actor said it is sad that the Raja Krishna Menon film could not perform well at the box office.

“I liked his (Raja’s) attempt, it was a little European in flavour, and the drama could be a bit more, and I think he generally avoids drama. I think the palette of the film was a little western, I have also got some good reviews, but then some things are really not in your control.”
