Recently, in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Saif Ali Khan talked about doing Dil Chahta Hai and reveals how Aamir Khan convinced him to do this film.

Said Ali Khan stated, "It really was a starting point and I got the lessons to learn and I did it. I think I was doing a couple of small movies where I was playing a lead and I did think before signing the film and I had a chat. I remember I was sitting with Aamir somewhere in Bandra in a car. And he asked, are you doing a movie? because he was trying to get a cast that he was interested in for his film and I think he cares about the project holistically. Just maybe I've learned a little bit about that. Aamir said that the mounting of this film is much bigger than any other film you're doing and just do this. And of course, I'm glad I did it."
