Saif Ali Khan wants a film on his dad Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's life!

Saif Ali Khan recently turned dad when wife Kareena Kapoor gave birth to a baby boy, Taimur Ali Khan. The actor was known to be close to his own father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi who passed away few years back. 

While being interviewed by a publication, Saif says whether he would like to make a film on his dad. "I would love to. He is a huge icon in my mind. He was a stylish person — with his body language, the way he spoke, his attitude, and even the way he smoked his cigarettes. You can’t come close [to him]. It’s like making a film on Bruce Lee. Who is going to copy his body language? That is my main concern. Amma (Sharmila Tagore) feels Ranbir (Kapoor) can. Yes, he has a long face like my father but I don’t think he likes cricket (laughs). However, it will be great [to see a film on him]. It will be a great story about bringing India together," says Saif. 

The actor also admits that he is scared of making a bad film and hence hasn't made one yet. "It should be told as long as the basic point is correct. He would have been the number one [batsman] in the world, but he lost everything in an accident (in 1961, when a shard of glass permanently damaged his right eye). He then got it all back and played well enough to become the best batsman in the ’60s. It can have a great title too — Tiger," adds Saif. Casting would also be an issue according to the Chotta nawab. When asked if he would like to play his dad, Saif replied, "I don’t know, maybe. I am 46 and all his drama happened when he was in his 20s. So, there can be two actors [who can portray different stages of his life]. It’s actually very interesting but I am scared of making a bad film (smiles)."
