was about the life of a RAW agent, is all
set to cast Saif Ali Khan in a film about
post 26/11 counter-terrorism.
The film is to be written by Hussain Zaidi, the prominent crime writer whose
scrupulously researched books have
earlier been the basis of Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday and Sanjay
Gupta's Shootout At Wadala.
This wouldn't be the first film Saif would
be doing on global terrorism. He has earlier done Rensil D'Silva's Kurbaan
where he played a terrorist. In Kabir's
film that Sajid Nadiadwala will produce,
Saif crosses over to the other side.
Says a source, "Saif plays a counter-
terrorist deputed to tackle a post-26/11
scenario. It's a kind of extension to
Salman Khan's RAW agent's role in Kabir
Khan's Ek Tha Tiger. But the politics of
this film would be far more topical."
Saif, we have come to know from reliable sources, would be required to
undertake remarkable research to get his data on counter-insurgency right.
Says the source, "It's a different world for Saif and producer Sajid
Nadiadwala. Sajid has only done mass entertainers so far."
