A sample list of his films which gave other actors a marathon run for their money includes the likes of Yeh Dillagi, Main Khiladi Tu Anari , Kal Ho Na Ho, Parineeta, Salaam Namaste, Race, etc. If you thought that Saif has confined himself only to romantic and mushy films, then think again, for he is the same man who very effortlessly hit the jackpot with new age films like Dil Chahta Hai and Being Cyrus.

28 July 2009 12:08 AM, PDT | BollywoodHungama | See recent BollywoodHungama news »

Saif Ali Khan is getting the jitters, but is equally confident as Love Aaj Kal is set to test his abilities this Friday. Without doubt, the expectations from Love Aaj Kal are humungous and this makes actor turned producer Saif Ali Khan anxious. He's got a lot riding on this film, which is predicted to toss him into the industry's Top 3 slot, if luck sides him. "Love Aaj Kal gives me very positive vibes. But, trust me, I don't like the number game. We should be our own competition," Saif tells me. Love Aaj Kal has got a near perfect mixture -- hot properties in Saif and Deepika, one of the finest directors in Imtiaz Ali, music that's already set hearts pacing [Pritam] and a story that's rather intriguing. But people are bound to compare it with Imtiaz's Jab We Met. "It's an unfair comparison. Comparing the two films is like comparing two different people, …
