Saif Ali Khan

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan has said that he is “left-wing” and “liberal”, but has followed up by saying that he knows he “shouldn’t say such things today”. While promoting his upcoming film ‘Vikram Vedha’, Saif in an interview talked about how he doesn’t agree with the views and principles of his character in the film, where he plays Vikram, an encounter specialist. Hrithik Roshan is a gangster Vedha.

Saif told BizAsia, “When the mafia problem was getting so out of control, it was urban legend that we wouldn’t pretend that the ‘criminal’ was actually shot, or killed while trying to escape. Went, and later, do paperwork to show that he was trying to escape and we had to shoot him.

“It’s called an ‘encounter’, a ‘fake encounter’. It’s a terrible judicial .. I’m sure it’s completely illegal. But it’s also quite disturbing cinematically, and that’s what my character does But he’s convinced he’s a good guy, because (he thinks) it’s needed.”

He continued, “I’m too much.. maybe a little leftist, I guess.. I don’t know, I probably shouldn’t be saying these things today.”

The film, which also stars Radhika Apte, is scheduled to hit the screens on September 30.
