Kareena Kapoor is certainly going to work in Saif Ali Khan’s productions. But Saif will have nothing to do with it.
Says the actor who is shooting for his only film on the floors, “It’s entirely between Kareena and my business partner Dinesh Vijen. There has been a verbal commitment between them for a couple of projects. Kareena and I don’t discuss business.
It’s entirely the prerogative of the directors that we sign to cast that they want. Yes, I’d want me and Kareena to be in all our productions. But I’m not going to thrust our pair down producers’ throats. Of course, I’d like Kareena to be in every film I make. But my directors may have other plans.”
That famous arm with the by-now mythic tattoo has been injured. Saif’s hand was bandaged during his rock gig in Bangalore and Mumbai. “I injured my right hand while shooting in Greece. I put a glass down too hard and it broke in my hand. It’s no big deal,” he says.
Tattoo talk
Saif admits he’s annoyed by people constantly asking him about the ‘Kareena’ tattoo. “On the other hand you can’t really blame them. I suppose it’s a big deal. So people will talk and then stop talking about it after a while. You gotta remove yourself from the place of discomfort and look at it more dispassionately.”
Saif was aware that the media would focus on the tattoo. Couldn’t he have got the tattoo done in a less visible place? After all, it’s between Saif and his love. “No. It’s between me and my arm,” he shoots back.
