Saif Ali Khan is all set to be seen playing the role of a Naga Sadhu in his upcoming film titled Laal Kaptaan. The film was tentatively called 'Hunter' and now the official announcement about the new title has been made. Since last year, we have been seeing Saif donning long hair and heavy beard look during his public appearances which were for this film. Several of Saif's photos even got leaked as the actor was shooting in busy streets of Rajasthan.
Now, the makers have finally unveiled the first look of Saif in Laal Kaptaan which will give one chill instantly. In the poster, Saif's half face is shown smeared in ashes and long red vermillion which goes beyond his long locks. Kohled eyes and intriguing look are scary as well as exciting at the same time. The poster also has a man being dragged above Saif's face.
Check out the poster below:
During a recent interaction with Mid Day, when Saif was asked about his character, he stated, "I play a revengeful Naga Sadhu. He kills a British soldier and wears a bandana to look cool."
On being quizzed about striking resemblance with Johnny Depp's iconic character Jack Sparrow, Saif replied, "I can't believe I let that happen. My nephew Kiaan [Karisma Kapoor's son] and son [Ibrahim] saw the photographs before they had leaked, and said, 'Hey, that's Jack Sparrow.' The resemblance was because of the jacket and dreadlocks. While filming, I never thought about it. If I did, I wouldn't have done it. But, everything will make sense when you see the film."
Laal Kaptaan is directed by Navdeep Singh and is slated to release on September 6, 2019.
