Saif Ali Khan to play villain in Ajay Devgn's Taanaji: The Unsung Hero? Here's the answer

Taanaji marks the Bollywood directorial debut of Om Raut

After Omkara and LOC: Kargil, Saif Ali Khan and Ajay Devgn are coming together for the historical drama Taanaji: The Unsung Hero, where Ajay is playing the titular character. It marks the 100th film of the Singham star and he is going all-out to make it a grand experience on the silver screen. The actor told Mumbai Mirror, “It’s a big budget film, and it is different because it demands a certain level of scale and drama. It’s an ambitious film for me, and extremely difficult to pull off.”

Reportedly, Saif Ali Khan will play the lead antagonist in the film. Talking about this Ajay praised the acting skills of the Kaalakaandi actor and said, “It’s an exciting film right at the script level and demanded performers like them. We needed someone like Saif, as no one better than him to justify the character in the film. You don’t cast big actors just for the sake of it; there has to be a solid reason. We needed a lot of experience on the sets.” Directed by Om Raut, the film also stars Kajol and Jagapathi Babu in key roles and is scheduled to release on November 22.
