During the interview, Saif was asked whether projects become more exciting when they come from Shah Rukh Khan. Responding to the question, the actor shared an interesting anecdote from the early 2000s. “Yes, of course. He once called me for Main Hoon Na. He said there’s a great part,” Saif recalled.

 

The actor then went on to mention that filmmaker Farah Khan later contacted him regarding the project. “And then, Farah called me later and said no, no, no,” he said while laughing.

 

Directed by Farah Khan, the 2004 film starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role alongside Sushmita Sen, Suniel Shetty, Zayed Khan and Amrita Rao. The film went on to become one of the biggest hits of the year and remains a fan favourite even today.

 

Speaking further about Red Chillies Entertainment, Saif praised the production house for backing exciting concepts. “It’s a wonderful production. And I think they pick up really exciting and interesting ideas at Red Chillies. It was very cool to get an offer like that,” he added.
