This time he is trending because Saif's name has been associated with a film. The actor, who was last seen in Bazaar with debutante Rohan Mehra and his 'Sacred Games' co-star Radhika Apte, will now star in a spooky comedy.
Saif Ali Khan has already explored the genre with 'Go Goa Gone'. The announcement of this film, which is not the sequel of 'Go Goa Gone', was made by Aamir Khan's leading lady of two films - 'Dangal' and 'Thugs Of Hindostan' - actress Fatima Sana Shaikh.
She also revealed that the movie, titled 'Bhoot Police', is being directed by Pavan Kirpalani. "Ghost hunting is a hilariously spooky business! Presenting the cast of #BhootPolice #PavanKirpalani #SaifAliKhan @alifazal9," posted the actress along with a fun photo of the trio.
In the photography, Fatima sits on a chair donning a western outfit. Meanwhile she is surrounded by the 'men in black' Saif Ali Khan and Ali Fazal. They both don black sunglasses. To give an additional effect, Ali Fazal is seen wearing a silver chain while Saif Ali Khan poses with a torch light on.
