'Adi saying welcome back home means a lot to me': Saif Ali Khan on reuniting with Aditya Chopra for 'Bunty Aur Babli 2'Author : AZIndia News Desk
Amid the coronavirus lockdown, audiences are surely excited for the much-awaited reunion of Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji after 11 long years for the film Bunty Aur Babli 2. Apart from Rani, the film will also see Saif reuniting with producer Aditya Chopra after unspecified differences between the two in the past.
In a recent interview, Saif opened up about the same and revealed how it meant for him to receive a message from Aditya that read, "welcome back home". "It was nice to reconnect with Adi again. We had a couple of disagreements in the past and I think he was slightly disappointed in my attitude towards certain things and we hadn’t worked together in a very long time. This just meant that there’s peace again and everything is fine. That is the most important aspect of this," Saif said.
He further added that he is glad to be working with a producer "who knows what they are doing". "I have produced films, (I can say that) it’s really a relief to work with someone who has all the headache of choosing the right music, figuring out how to shoot and release it and you just do your work as an actor. I mean getting an SMS from Adi saying ‘Welcome back home’ means a lot to me," Saif added.
While Saif will be seen replacing Abhishek Bachchan as the original Bunty, Rani will reprise her titular role of the original Babli. The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi of the Gully Boy fame and debutant Sharvari. The sequel of the 2005 release is set to hit the theatres on June 26 but may now be postponed due to lockdown.
