Saif Ali Khan, who is known to play rather atypical characters like Sameer in Dil Chahta Hai, Karan Singh Rathod in Ek Haseena Thi, Cyrus Mistry in Being Cyrus and Langda Tyagi in Omkara, is again ready to play a hatke role. 

    He will play a terrorist in Karan Johar’s next production. The untitled film will be directed by Rang De Basanti writer, Rensil D’Silva. Says a source close to the film, “The story is a far cry from the usual Karan’s films. There will be no designer glam sham or naach gaana. It is a hard-hitting subject. Karan loved Rensil’s script so much that he decided to produce it. He also gave Rensil the freedom to choose the actors to justify his script. That’s how Rensil decided to cast Saif. He plays a meticulous and urban-educated terrorist. There is also an interesting romantic track between him and the leading lady, Kareena,” adds the source.

    Meanwhile, here’s more on the couple’s real life romance. Kareena and Saif are inseparable. Not only do they believe in spending all their free time with each other, but they also help each other out professionally. Now, Bebo has gone to London to help Saif with his first home production. Bebo is treating it like her own baby.

    Imtiaz Ali is shooting in UK for Saif’s production house’s debut film, starring Deepika Padukone and Saif. Saif went to meet Bebo all the way from London to Amsterdam where they were together for two days. After that, Kareena accompanied him to London to spend a week with him, while he shot for his home production.

    A source says, “Bebo has joined Saif on the sets of his film, which is being directed by Imtiaz. Saif is stressed about his first home production. He is quite occupied as he is also acting in the film. He’s also nervous about his upcoming release.”

    When Kareena realised Saif’s anxiety, she decided to be by his side and help him out in every possible way. “On the spur of the moment, Kareena decided to fly with him to London and spend a week on the sets. She knows Imtiaz Ali well and is also friendly with Saif's business partner, Dinesh. So, it won’t be too difficult for her to take charge of the situation while Saif is occupied with the shoot. She takes a lot of interest in Saif’s work,” adds the source.
