<\/a>Saif Ali Khan says it was a conscious decision to not play the lead in his upcoming home production \u2018Go Goa Gone\u2019 as he was more interested in the
\nproject as a producer, reports Times of India.
\nIt is for the first time that the actor is not playing the lead in his own production. The zombie comedy revolves around two guys, played by Vir Das and Kunal Khemu. Saif joins them later as Boris, the gun-toting zombie killer.
\n\u2018I was more interested in this film as a producer than as an actor. Producing is a creative job as well and not every film will have a great role for you though Boris is very entertaining. I look forward to producing many more films where maybe I don\u2019t act at all,\u2019 Saif told over phone from Mumbai.
\nProduced by Saif\u2019s banner Illuminati Films, the film is directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, the duo behind critically acclaimed films like \u201899\u2019 and \u2018Shor… In the City\u2019. \u2018Go Goa Gone\u2019 hits theatres on May 10.
\nThe actor-producer is confident that despite zombies being an alien concept for Indian audiences, the film will work in the comedy format.
\n\u2018I always thought that the film was very funny. I don\u2019t think the concept is very alien and it works really well because it is a comedy. Sometimes if you take chances and try something new, it can be an exciting investment because the rewards can be big,\u2019 he says.
\nSaif, 42, will be seen sporting blonde hair and tattoos in the film and the actor says he enjoyed experimenting with his look.
\n\u2018The look was pretty much there in Raj and DK\u2019s script and I just agreed with it. You can get scared to do things which are not necessarily what your image is. But people take it in the right spirit when the intention is to entertain and be fun,\u2019 says Saif.
\nThe film was given an A-certificate which will restrict below 18 audience from watching it but Saif is not unhappy. \u2018There is a lot of action, comedy and violence. With the zombie comedy, the idea is to create humour in violence. We have people\u2019s heads blowing up so you have to have an A-certificate. I am happy that censor board allowed it.\u2019
\n100 crore has become the new benchmark for success in Bollywood but Saif, who has produced films like \u2018Love Aaj Kal\u2019, \u2018Agent Vinod\u2019 and \u2018Cocktail\u2019 in the past, does not feel threatened by it. \u2018The idea of 100 crore is slightly outdated because the business is growing everyday. 200 crore is really not that much considering the billion people in this country.’<\/p>\n
