Saif Ali Khan’s last release, Rangoon, didn’t do too well but that won’t keep the actor from collaborating with Vishal Bhardwaj again. Multiple reports suggest that Saif Ali Khan has given his nod to a film that will be based on his Omkara character, Langda Tiyagi. According to Bollywood Hungama, the focus of the film “will be on how Langda Tyagi became the character that he is.”
Moving away from his Omkara character, Khan also added his two cents on the issue of endorsing fairness creams, which was raised by actor Abhay Deol recently.
“I think I have endorsed them a couple of times and I am told they are the largest selling things,” said Khan. “But it’s not a stand I have felt particularly strong about. Everyone in this country is obsessed with fair skin. It’s the first thing people say when a child is born. And it’s important that Abhay Deol’s voice on the subject be heard.”
Khan further added, “Perhaps we all know somewhere that selling that product is wrong, and somewhere we wish we took a different stand but we don’t. If you don’t sell it, someone else would. There should maybe be a law against it. Without a law how do you hope people won’t bleach their faces?”a
