Saif Ali Khan's character from 'Happy Ending' inspired from 'Californication's Hank Moody?

If you have already watched the trailer of Saif Ali Khan's latest film Happy Ending and are a fan of the Showtime television series Californication, you would notice a stark similarity between the two characters. Saif Ali Khan who plays a womanising writer in the film has seemingly noticeable resemblance to Hank Moody from the television series. 

But at the trailer launch event when Saif was questioned about the same, our Nawab shrugged off all speculations. "I don't see the reason why you think that. We would have got a XXX and the film would not have run. There is only a tiny bit which might remind you of Hank Moody and the writers have also mentioned him a couple of times in the film. So maybe there's some kind of subtext somewhere. But Californication is cutting edge writing and concept which shows the actual reality of today. But here we have made Happy Ending universally palatable for the Indian audience", he said.

The film is rather a spoof on romantic comedies and going by the trailer, we can expect a hilarious ride with this one. Happy Ending stars Saif Ali Khan, Ileana D' Cruz, Kalki Koechlin, Govinda and Ranveer Shorey.
