Saif Ali Khan, who is winning hearts with his brilliant act in the recently released web series Sacred Games 2, turned 49 on Friday. The actor, currently enjoying an extended stay in London with his family after completing the shoot of his next film Jawaani Jaaneman, has an interesting lineup of films, making him stand amongst the busiest actors. With such exciting and wonderful scripts in his kitty, Saif, during an interview with a leading daily, expressed to take up slightly more commercial stuff now onwards. He further said after the debacle of his film Chef, he has become a little more aware of what the audience wants to watch. Talking about Jawaani Jaaneman, Saif claimed it to be an artistic and intelligent film that qualifies to entertain the audience.
“I want to do slightly more commercial stuff. In the past, I’ve done certain films like Chef which were a little different to what the audience would have wanted. So, I have become just a little bit more aware of what kind of films people want. For instance, Jaawani Jaaneman is quite intelligent and artistic in many places. But basically, it’s a lot of good fun. Both, director Nitin Kakkar and I, had it in our minds that we are trying to entertain people here — the emphasis has been on that,” Saif told during the interview.
