Saif Ali Khan On Sara Taking Ahead The Love Aaj Kal Franchise: “If It Had Been A Continuation, I’d Have Produced It”
During his recent conversation, when Saif Ali Khan was asked if he’s happy that his daughter Sara is taking the legacy of Love Aaj Kal forward. He said, “I don’t think Love Aaj Kal is my legacy at all”
It was on this day in 2009 that Saif Ali Khan and Deepika
Padukone starrer Love Aaj Kal had hit the theatres. The film, which marks 10
years of its release today, was helmed by Imtiaz Ali. In the film, Saif and
Deepika played two commitment-phobic youngsters and successful professionals.
Now as we all know, Sara Ali Khan is gearing up for Imtiaz Ali’s next
co-starring Kartik Aaryan which is touted to be 2nd instalment of Love Aaj Kal.
During his recent conversation with Hindustan Times, when
Saif actor was asked if he’s happy his daughter Sara is taking the legacy
forward. He said, “I don’t think Love Aaj Kal is my legacy at all. I don’t
think of it as Sara taking the franchise forward. That’s an interesting
thought, which I hadn’t thought before. I think if anything, it’s Imtiaz’s
franchise and his legacy that perhaps he is taking forward, I was just a part
of it.”
“If Sara is a part of it, I see no relation between the two
movies. Maybe that’s because I don’t view the profession as legacy-based. I
just think she is a really interesting personality on-screen. Sara is very
smart, and got her own lovely ideas about things, so it’s refreshing to talk to
her,” Saif added further.
Saif also mentioned that he doesn’t think Aaj Kal will take off from where the first one left off. “I don’t see it as a continuation. If it had been, I think that’s a producer’s thought, and I probably would have produced it for her or something like this. That’s just no how it has come about. Imtiaz should probably try and make one of these every 10 years, calling it ‘Aaj Kal’ with different actors! I am hoping it is a different story, though.”
