Saif calls himself ‘left wing’, then says ‘shouldn’t say such things anymore today’

Mumbai, Sep 27 : Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan has said that he is "left wing" and a "liberal" but he followed it up by saying that he knows he "shouldnt say such things anymore today".

While promoting his upcoming film Vikram Vedha, Saif in an interview talked about how he doesnt agree with the thoughts and principles of his character in the film, where he plays an encounter specialist Vikram while Hrithik Roshan is Vedha, a gangster.

Saif told Biz Asia, "When the mafia problem was getting so out of control, there was this urban legend that we wont show whether the criminal was shot genuinely trying to escape, or executed, and later on, do the paperwork to show that he was trying to escape and we had to shoot him."Thats called an encounter, a fake encounter.Its kind of a horrific judicial.Im sure its completely illegal.

But its cinematically quite disturbing as well, and thats kind of what my character does.But hes convinced hes a good guy, because (he thinks) its required."He added: "Im much more.probably a bit left-wing, I suppose.

I dont know, I probably shouldnt say these things anymore today."The actor, who is married to Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan, called himself "liberal".

"But yes, Im really liberal and easygoing, and I think everyone is entitled to a fair trial before judgement.Im certainly not for executing suspected criminals, which my character seems to love to do," Saif said.

Vikram Vedha is a Hindi remake of the 2017 Tamil movie of the same name, starring R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi.Its said to be based on the Indian folktale, Vikram aur Betaal.

The film, which also stars Radhika Apte, is scheduled to hit the screens on September 30.dc/svn/ #Saif #shouldnt #anymore #Mumbai #Bollywood #Cinema #Movie #Chennai #Tamil #Kollywood # Vikram # Radhika Apte # R Madhavan #Hrithik Roshan #Saif Ali Khan #Vijay #Kareena Kapoor #Radhika Apte #Reena Kapoor # Kareena Kapoor #Vikram # Radhika # Reena #Ali #Mumbai #Kapoor.
