Saif deserves success every bit |
|
 Despite
the fact that SALAAM NAMASTE has got a mixed
response at the box-office, the one who has truly
benefited from the film is actor Saif Ali Khan,
whose performance has come for a lot of appreciation
in the film. For one, Saif definitely seems to have
consolidated his position in the Yashraj banner,
what with Yash Chopra signing him for one
more film with director Siddharth Anand.
The Yashraj banner isn't the only one where
Saif has become a hot favorite. Post PARINEETA,
producer Vinod Chopra has been singing praises about
his tremendous potential as an actor, one of the
reasons that led him to cast Saif in a powerful role
in YAGNA, now re-titled.
There is another filmmaker, Sudhir Mishra,
who considers him to be a great performer and
chaired the jury that gave him the national award
for his performance in HUM TUM, but was subjected to
a lot of flak for his decision. Mishra claims that
he has met Saif only a couple of times and does not
know him well enough but was convinced that he
deserved the national award to the hilt for his
commendable performance in HUM TUM. "I am glad that
the industry is now realizing his potential. When we
chose him for the national award in HUM TUM, there
was skepticism from certain quarters about our
choice. I was very disappointed that the industry
did not stand up in Saif's defense when fingers were
being pointed at Saif. There wasn't a single person
from the industry who publicly congratulated him on
his achievement. They'll probably do that now as he
proves himself in his films," says Mishra. |
