NEW DELHI:
After an eventful 2012, Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan is looking forward to an even racier 2013. The Race 2 actor is at peace with his personal and professional life both.
His last film Cocktail managed to do well at the box office, he wed his lady love Kareena Kapoor and for his forthcoming action thriller Race 2, he got the chance to drive around in high-end cars, shoot in locations like Istanbul and be with some of Bollywood’s most gorgeous girls.
“It feels great! It seems like my life is quite set. Nazar mat lagao yaar [Don’t jinx it],” said the actor, who looked extremely stylish and fit at a promotional event on Monday.
Saif was joined at the Audi car showroom by his Race 2 co-stars Deepika Padukone and Ameesha Patel, who looked as glamorous as the film looks by its songs and trailers.
The Abbas-Mustan movie, set to release January 25, is the sequel to 2008 hit film Race. It also features actors Anil Kapoor, John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez.
Saif, who was part of the earlier movie, says times have changed in Bollywood and sequels are now an accepted thing.
“When I did Main Khiladi Tu Anari in 1994, we were contemplating on a sequel to it. But then the idea was dropped because at that time, sequels didn’t really happen,” he said, happy with the advancement. “But things change. There are some films that lend themselves to a sequel, and the Race franchise lends itself perfectly.”
