Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan's new year is already off to a great start with two of his films releasing in January itself. 

Ahead of the release of Ajay Devgn and Kajol starrer Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior today, in an interview with a publication, Saif opened up about playing the character of Uday Bhan Rathore, a Rajput warrior who fought for Aurangzeb against the Marathas. 

Talking about the character Saif said that Uday Bhan was "challenging, theatrical, and deranged" which is why he was all the more keen to play the role. 

Saif also shared how he had to let go of his beard for the fil, even though he had become quite attached to it. 

"Om (the director) invented a very colorful villain; not a villain, an antagonist. Aurangzeb entrusts him to defend the fort against Tanhaji. The kind of back story that Om gave it and the kind of madness he created, it was a very new experience as an actor. We approached it in a very different way from how I have done anything before. And I have a tendency to try and underplay things, and he was like, no I want you to be much louder, which was very frightening because that’s new for me. And the hair and the clothes and Nachiket Barve, who has done costumes for the film, really made it into a spectacle! I don’t think it is the evil empire, but he is a slightly deranged character, that is for sure," he added. 

On the work front, Saif will be next seen in Jawaani Janneman alongside Tabu and Alaia Furniturewalla, who will be making her debut with the film. The film is all set to release on January 31, 2020.
