Saif In a Jam

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,September 11 2006]

Saif Ali Khan is still basking in the voracious accolades he has been getting for his stellar performance in Vishal Bharadwaj’s ‘Omkara’. He is currently shooting for the candy-floss ‘Tara Rum Pum’ with Rani Mukherjee for the ‘Salaam Namaste’ director Siddharth Anand in London. There are reports that he plans to take his Rockstar image a step further by jamming with Rock Group ‘Parikrama’ soon (They’d jammed earlier too). It’s a well known fact that Saif is quite a pro with guitar strumming and had also given a few lessons to buddy Vivek Oberoi during a scene in ‘Omkara’.

Another dope on Saifu is his rift with actor Fardeen Khan. It’s being said that Fardeen has opted out of a Tips film which had Saif as his co-star. The reason being cited is the last minute disclosure by Saif that he won’t be doing Feroze Khan’s ‘Kurbani’ due to date issues. Apparently Fardeeen didn’t take this last minute act of Saif too kindly and decided to cite the same ‘date problems’ while saying not to the Tips film. Considering the way Fardeen’s career is going right now, it would have only benefited him if he would have said yes to this film rather than nursing a grievance. Nevertheless, Saif continues to Rock.
