Saif Ali Khan Was ‘Heartbroken’ When Agent Vinod Didn’t Work, Says ‘I Could’ve Made My Character More Desi’

Agent Vinod which turned 12 on Saturday, March 23 was a very special film for Saif Ali Khan. He turned producer with this honourable misfire. Agent Vinod was a full-on take on the James Bond-Tom Cruise genre of sensuous spying with Saif dressed at his best, wooing and bedding some of the most glamorous women in the industry. Saif produced the film to ensure his role turned out just so.

Ever since Rajshri made the low-budget Agent Vinod in 1977 featuring the then-rising Mahendra Sandhu, as the spy who loved girls’ gadgets and stunts, Saif was fascinated by the thought of doing a take on the title. Though our Agent Vinod had nothing to do with the old Rajshri film of that name, it explored the same espionage territory, albeit in an entirely new idiom. Director Sriram Raghavan and Saif had been brainstorming over this project for a long time. Saif lost weight to look lean mean and macho to play Agent Vinod.

Saif Ali Khan reveals why he is not sure if he will be a part of Go Goa Gone 2

Go Goa Gone was not only the most loved films of 2013 but was also India’s first zombie comedy. Directed by Raj and DK, Go Goa Gone wasn’t a big box office success back then but over the years had attained a cult status with many fans asking and longing for a sequel. The sequel to Go Goa Gone had been in talks for a few years now and in fact, back in 2018, Saif had confirmed that the second part is in works and he will return as Boris in the sequel.

However, last year there were some reports of creative differences between producer Dinesh Vijan (he co-owned Illuminati with Saif) and director duo Raj and DK. And the reports also stated that the sequel is in jeopardy. However, a few days back the sequel of the film was announced with a poster that only carried the production houses Eros International and Maddock Films.
