Saif Ali Khan returns to play a police officer in his next outing which is the OTT film ‘Kartavya’ backed by Shah Rukh Khan. In the past, Saif and SRK have collaborated for ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ (2003) and decades later they reunite as actor-producer. Recalling their meeting for the project, Saif shared at the trailer launch of ‘Kartavya’, “I’ve had a lovely and long association with Shah Rukh. He’s someone I look up to in many, many ways. I had a short meeting with him. He said there’s a lovely script and that he’d like me to hear it and do the film. Once we finished the shoot and Shah Rukh watched it, he said it’s a lovely film. He’s very happy with it. That was pretty much the limit of my interaction with him.” He went on to add how SRK and wife Gauri Khan gave complete freedom to director Pulkit, “They weren’t on the set because they are amazing producers. They believe in letting the directors be free to operate and make the film they want to, as sometimes their presence can be a bit overwhelming on the sets. He gave us a lot of room to make the film. But I felt (during the shoot) that I was working with a production with his kind of sensibilities.” ‘Kartavya’ also stars Rasika Dugal, Zakir Hussain, Sanjay Mishra and Manish Chaudhri. The movie will be available for streaming from May 15th.
