Director Siddharth Anand has cast Saif Ali Khan in ‘a mature love story’ now that the actor will turn 40
Let’s extend hearty birthday wishes to Saif Ali Khan; he turns 40 this month. And at this important juncture, his friend, director Siddharth Anand, has gifted him something that is befitting his age: a film that won’t have him playing the 20-something dude he portrays in films these days.

That’s why Siddharth calls his forthcoming project with Saif, which he will begin shooting in 2011, “far removed from the rom-com space”. Guess making Tara Rum Pum taught him a lesson.
The film will co-star Priyanka Chopra. Apart from directing it, Siddharth will be co-producing the film with Saif. While three of his films, Salaam Namaste, Bachna Ae Haseenon and Tara Rum Pum, were produced by Yash Raj Films and the latest, Anjaana Anjaani by Sajid Nadiadwala, the new project will be his baby.
Siddharth says, “Yes I’m turning producer with my next film with Saif. We will be co-producing the film. About time I took my career to the next level. And who better to take me there than Saif?”
While making another romantic film, Siddharth promises a far more mature one than those Saif seems to have patented these days. Siddharth adds, “Saif would play his own age.”
