Saif Ali Khan is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming Amazon Prime Videos show, ‘Tandav,’ created and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and stars Sunil Grover, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Dimple Kapadia, Sarah Jane Dias, Kritika Kamra and others.
In the trailer, Saif is seen making an entry from the balcony of Pataudi Palace. In an interview with Mid-Day, the ‘Cocktail’ actor revealed that usually, he does not let anyone shoot in his palace, however, he made an ‘exception’ for Tandav. He also said that he does not mind giving the palace on rent for shooting, as it remains unused 340 days of the year. Saif also said that nowadays the crew members have become responsible and look after the venues, but the idea of a shoot still makes him nervous.
“I think it is the palace that lends us the royal look. Anyone standing there would look royal,” he added.
Lastly, the ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ actor spoke about his character in the show and said, “I had to deliver speeches that had a fair mix of Sanskrit and Hindi. Sanskrit is poetic and rhythmic, and the script offered powerful dialogues. Usually, you get a heavy scene one day, followed by a few easy days. Here, I had to film four speeches every day.” He also revealed that he enjoyed turning orator.
‘Tandav’ is set to be streamed on Amazon Prime Video from January 15, 2021.
