Saif Ali Khan on working in multi-starrer movies: I’m capable of being very insecure as an actor

Saif Ali Khan recently delivered a terrific performance as Vikram in Vikram Vedha. Vikram Vedha is a two-hero film. Saif shared screen space with Hrithik Roshan (Vedha) in the same. For the uninitiated, before Vikram Vedha, Hrithik and Saif worked together in the romance drama ‘Na Tum Jaano Na Hum’. Saif Ali Khan has been a part of many multi-starrers or two-hero films in his career. From Go Goa Gone to Humshakals, Saif has shared screen space with many male actors in his films.

In a recent group interview, Saif was asked about working in multi-starrer movies and he said, “Firstly, it might be a misconception that there’s a lot of security. There’s not a very secure position. In a sense, there’s a time and phase, if you look at my career just quickly in a nutshell, you know it, I mean everyone lived their life that you’re happy to have a job at one point.”

Saif added, “I don’t know how I got into this profession also. I have done third leads also and slowly slowly growing and after a while you feel I can’t do this anymore. I don’t want to do this anymore and luckily you grow because it’s not the best role and after all you want the best.”

The actor continued, “I’m lucky that I got to a position where I got those things and then you work for it and also this script you’re secure even though I’m capable of being very insecure as an actor. I suppose it doesn’t make great copy. I shouldn’t be so honest, I have to learn but most actors are deep down little insecure, then we make a show of being secure because we are actors. But a director like this really treated me like the hero and often in fact I might have irritated him (Pushkar) he told me just calm down and because you’re a hero they present you as such. Sometimes if you’re not looked after, everybody knows your role can even be different from what was written down so it takes integrity from the makers to bring that across and I think there’s something amazing about their work and the ethic which I will never forget and I’ll always be proud because I looked after that character and it is Vikram Vedha and at no point they let that slip because they said, you know, thoda 19/20 or whatever it’s there which is great.”

Vikram Vedha released in theatres on 30 September, 2022.
