He also opened up about the delay in his pet project, Bhoot Police. “The film is both scary and funny and I am very excited about it. The reason it got delayed is because I wanted some of my films to work at the box office so that I can make the movie as I had envisioned it. I hope Bhoot Police goes on floors by the end of the year.

Some time back, Saif had opened up about the politics of Tanhaji in an interview with Anupama Chopra. The actor admitted that he didn’t have a problem with the politics "as an actor”, but he does “as an individual”.

“I was very excited to play the role because its a delicious role. But when people say this is history. I don’t think this is history. I am quite aware of what the history was,”
Saif Ali Khan, Actor

The Ajay Devgn-led film’s politics had been a point of debate among experts for projecting the idea of an independent India or Swaraj as early as the 17th century.

“I don’t think there was a concept of India till perhaps the British gave it one. So there’s many things. I don’t think there is really any constructive point in arguing about loudly, provided you yourself know why you’re doing it.”
