New Delhi: Saif Ali Khan's film is one of
the first releases of the year but the actor is more nervous
and excited about daughter Sara's debut in "Kedarnath".
The 47-year-old actor said he shares the anxiety of a
newcomer when it comes to Sara's film, which is slated to
release in December.
"Sara has her whole life ahead of her. It feels like it
is my debut film that's up for a release. It's her dream and I
hope all her dreams come true," Saif said in a press
conference here.
The actor is equally excited and scared for wife Kareena
Kapoor Khan's much-awaited "Veere Di Wedding" but said it
would be wrong to call the film her "comeback".
It would be Kareena's first film after son Taimur's birth
in December 2016.
When someone called the film Kareena's comeback, Saif
quipped, "Had you asked this question to her, she would have
probably thrown something at you, like a shoe, maybe. As
according to her, she has always been around."
The actor praised Kareena's dedication to her work.
"She's a great artiste and I have seen how well she has
concentrated n her health and fitness," he added.
Asked about the Supreme Court's decision that playing of
national anthem in cinema halls before a film's screening is
no longer mandatory, the actor said he has always supported
the administration but urged the government to look into the
Section 377, which criminalises homosexuality.
"The government knows what's better. I have always
supported the administration. But there are also many other
things that need attention. Please also take a look at
(Section) 377," he said.
Saif, who was in the capital to promote "Kaalakaandi",
faced some bizarre questions at the press conference but ever
the gentleman, he replied to each one of them.
He, however, looked exasperated when someone pointed out
that cuss-words in films leave a negative impact on children.
"This is a wrong question. We will not answer this. It is
not our job. Our job is to just make films," he said.
The actor said he did not mind the film getting an 'A'
certificate from the censor board as the subject caters to an
adult audience.
"The film getting an 'A' certificate is justified as
sometimes the children should not watch certain films. I agree
with the censor board. I don't want my children to listen to
abuses," said the actor on a question that the film had
received multiple cuts because of expletives.
The movie is directed by Akshat Verma of "Delhi Belly"
fame and releases this Friday.
