Saif Ali Khan had the time of his life filming Navdeep Singh’s new film Hunter and spoke at length about it during an interview with a leading daily. While discussing the film though, Saif invoked a message for Kangana Ranaut, with whom he worked in Rangoon. Didn’t get this? We’ll explain. Shooting for Hunter was the “hardest thing” Saif has ever done but it was fun.
Most of Hunter was filmed at real locations and Saif said that while “many Rajasthani places seem like a dead ghost in the background, after setting up the places, “it suddenly comes alive.”

“It’s an impressive experience, and director Navdeep (Singh) is deeply passionate about his work. You have to be a mono maniac of some sorts. You’ve to be obsessed to carry so many people for so long in those circumstances,” Saif told the daily.
Now for the Kangana bit. During his interview, Saif said that he had heard Kangana say that actors aren’t interested in getting their “hands dirty” but the 48-year-old actor begged to differ. In fact, Saif said that he intends to show Kangana pictures from their shoot while they were filming Hunter during the monsoon. Not only did he cover himself in mud, but also shot during heavy rains - maybe photographs, thus, will change Kangana’s opinion.

“I heard Kangana (Ranaut) say that actors don’t like to get their hands dirty. I would like to show to her what we did. I’ve got pictures, where we were shooting during the monsoon and I was covered in mud and flies because of the fake blood, which is sweet. Jeez, it was hard and I would just fantasise about reaching home and getting clean. I would think about getting a bottle of Blue Label and Chinese food and sitting in the balcony,” he added.
In the meantime, Saif is gearing up for the release of Baazaar, scheduled for October 26.
