Saif Ali Khan to play Kartik Aaryan's dad

Eversince Sara Ali Khan has made her debut, rumours of her sharing the screen with her father Saif Ali Khan have been making rounds. Initially, it was said to be the second instalment of Hindi Medium that will see the real life father-daughter coming together on reel life, but both are not in that film.    

Then Saif and Sara were being considered for Jawani Janeman by Nitin Kakkar to be bankrolled by Saif’s new production house. But then they cast Aalia Furniturewala as the daughter and retained Saif.

Finally, the rumours about Sara playing Saif’s daughter in the Imtiaz Ali film starring Sara along with Kartik Aaryan surfaced. The film being billed as a sequel to Love Aaj Kal will have Saif in the film, but not as Sara’s dad.

“He will be playing father to Kartik Aaryan. He is not playing Sara’s father because that is not a role that a star like Saif can play,” informs our source.

It has to be noted that Sara and Saif started this game about her wanting to date Kartik on Karan Johar’s show Koffee With Karan. She was then cast in the Imtiaz Ali film opposite Kartik and then came leaked videos of a kissing scene. It does seem that this film will have more than its share of controversy till it releases.
