Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan totally nailed it as Langda Tyagi in Omkara. From his killer dialect to that gritty body language, he stole the show right from under Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor’s noses. But here’s a fun twist: Aamir Khan was actually the first choice for the role! DYK Aamir Khan Was The First Choice For THIS Role Speaking to Friday Talkies, writer Robin Bhatt revealed, “Aamir was ready to do the villain’s role.
The second choice we had was Saif Ali Khan. However, at one point, we decided that Aamir was not the right choice for the film." That’s when the role landed with Saif Ali Khan, although he had one big hurdle: he wasn’t well-versed in the western UP dialect the character demanded.
But Saif was fully committed to the role and went all in. From chopping off his hair to working with a language coach to master the accent, he truly become Langda Tyagi. “Saif’s problem was the language required here.
But then he started going for tuitions, he started training with another, chopped his hair," he recalled. The result was nothing short of perfection, and today, it’s regarded as one of the finest performances of his career. Saif Ali Khan's Latest Currently, Saif is seen in Netflix's new project Jewel Thief.
The heist show also stars Nikita Dutta, Jaideep Ahlawat and Kunal Kapoor in lead roles. Directed by Robbie Grewal and Kookie Gulati, it recently released on the OTT platform and opened up to decent reviews. Our in-house critic gave it a 2.
5/3 rating and wrote, "The Hindi feature tries to be clever at every step, but ultimately, it doesn't manage to pull off the histrionics. Despite its glossy packaging, Jewel Thief is closer to the middling Red Notice than the all-time standard Ocean's Eleven. The film strains so hard in establishing the long con that it wears you out by the end.
Additionally, the end credits song, Jaadu, feels completely unnecessary after watching the film." Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from Bollywood, Entertainment News and around the world..
