When Saif Ali Khan said he doesn’t have ‘an ego issue about’ working with ‘big star’ Hrithik Roshan: ‘Never experienced that kind of success’

This effect that he had on sets was not lost on Saif, who responded, “Yeah, my idea was just to have a good time. I was not bothered about anything else. On the sets, I was this major brat. Not an offensive one, mind you. I do admit, I was a culture shock for people. Not just on the sets. I was like that from the time I first came down to India. Obviously, I wanted to have a blast. I mean at twenty you don’t want to be boring.”

Saif was fresh off the success of Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai at the time, and had landed himself a role in the Hrithik Roshan-Esha Deol movie Na Tum Jaano Na Hum. Saif had many complimentary things to say about Hrithik. “Look, I have never experienced the kind of success Hrithik has. It’s not easy to be a big star. It’s a gift to be able to enthrall millions. I’m fully aware of the fact that much greater actors than me have sat in this make-up van. I have a long way to go. And I’m okay about that. I don’t have an ego issue about it. There’s no denying that Hrithik today is one of the best and I want to work with the best,” he said.

Interestingly, the duo will collaborate once again on the Hindi remake of the Tamil thriller Vikram Vedha. Saif Ali Khan was last seen in the 2021 release Bunty Aur Babli 2. He also has Adipurush in the pipeline.
