Saif Ali Khan was among the earliest film stars to make a successful OTT debut. His series, Sacred Games, ushered in the web revolution in India, and he followed it up by starring in the second season, too. While his last web show, Tandav, was mired in controversies, the actor continues to juggle both film and OTT commitments.

Khan, whose upcoming projects include films Adipurush and Vikram Vedha, confirms to us that he has given his nod to a web show as well. “We are just inking a contract (for the web series), and there will be an announcement in the future,” the 51-year-old shares, adding, “I like dividing my time between film and web shows. I look forward to producing and acting for the digital medium.”

Talking about his upcoming films, he says, “Adipurush is something that people will have high expectations from! Vikram Vedha is a new narrative. There’s something very different about how the story is told.”

Ask him if there’s anything he would want to change about the Hindi film industry today, and he replies, “It’s going really well, I love it. Just try and have a little more silence sometimes. It takes a while to get things quiet because there’s so many of us, and we don’t like being quiet.”
