Saif Ali Khan and Nikhil Advani lived in the same area when they were younger. As Nikhil once told us, “Everyone knew of Saif since he was the son of Sharmila Tagore and Tiger Pataudi and, of course, at that time he was quite a brat.“ Years later, he directed his first film Kal Ho Naa Ho in 2002 with Saif in it. We have now heard from sources that a few days back, Nikhil narrated the script of his next film to Saif and that the charming nawaab has given him his consent in principle.

The interesting part is that the role has Saif playing a cut-throat, immoral, full of heart lawyer. Saif has not played a lawyer before, but anyone who has met Saif can tell you how bright and knowledgeable he is. While he is far from being immoral and cut-throat as a person in real life, he is extremely bright and all heart. After finishing the film with Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty, Nikhil will start shooting Saif 's film.
