While talking to PTI, Saif said that it was Shah Rukh who rang him up and told him there was a good script in the works at Red Chillies. ‘He said, ‘There’s a lovely script and I would like you to hear it, and do it.’ Then I heard it and met the director. And when the film was finished, he told me, ‘It has turned out to be a lovely movie,’ Saif said.
