Thursday, 9th Oct 2014, 3:01 PM IST Have you ever seen an actor doing a cameo in a film in which he plays the lead role? Well, we are sure you haven’t, but Saif Ali Khan will be doing that now. The actor, who plays the lead role in the film ‘Happy Ending’ will be also doing a cameo as rockstar Yogi in the film. One of the directors of the film Raj Nidimoru said that the role of a rockstar was written for another actor. "But then we thought it would be cool if Saif played it,because his character, a philosopher bum, had once dreamt of becoming what Yogi(the rockstar) is today. Of course, our film, unlike many, does not dwell on the back stories of the characters. It's more of a nod to his dreams,"added Raj. The idea of Saif himself doing a cameo in the film was quite surprising for Saif, but he agreed to do it. Raj further revealed that the actor’s character in the film has similarity to the real Saif. The actor pitched in to put together the look of the character too. Talking about Yogi’s character, Raj said, "All three of us are fans of the Coen Brothers. Yogi is like the 'dude' from Big Lebowski who is always there when Yudi needs his unsolicited advice. Though a guest appearance, it is a pivotal role with Yogi flitting into the story through the film. The colourful character is seen strumming the guitar with a group of lingerie-clad women in a song. We shot in Mumbai on a set which looks like an American shower stall.” "Saif has done many romcoms but this one's unlike any happily-ever after love story you've seen. A cameo by the lead actor itself makes it different," he added. |
