New Delhi:
Actor Saif Ali Khan, whose debuthome production Agent Vinod failed to create magic at theBox Office, says he never considered the film as his dreamproject.
The 41-year-old star was riding high on his solo projectbefore it's release, which also starred real-life girlfriendKareena Kapoor.
"To be honest I didn't really look at Agent Vinod as adream or anything. It was a film which came with a lot ofintellectual ideas. I wanted to bring a new facet of the actorin me which has played quite a few comic and romanticcharacters in the past.
"The idea was to play a hero of a different kind andproduce a quality product. That's the kind of offering Iwanted to come with," Saif told PTI.
The actor, who has signed three films - Race 2,Cocktail and Judwaa 2, feels this is an exciting period inhis career as he has many interesting projects in his hands.
"These are exciting times and there are quite a fewinteresting films that I would be kick-starting soon. Race 2is turning out well and with Abbas-Mustan at the helm ofaffairs, it is going to be a stylish and fun affair.
"Then there is Judwaa 2 which is going to be quite achallenge as it gets me into an altogether different zone whencompared to some of the films that I have done in the recentpast. However, after letting my hair down in Pungi, I amconfident that the audience will accept a different side ofme," Saif said.
Judwaa 2 is a sequel to the Salman Khan-starrer 1997film.
Saif, who has been in the industry for more than twodecades, has given hits like Dil Chahta Hai, Kal Ho Naa Ho,Parineeta and Omkara.
There were reports that Saif was upset with DeepikaPadukone after she backed out from their upcoming projectRace 2, a sequel to the 2008 release of the same name.
Addressing the rumours, Saif said, "It's amusing whensuch things are being written and spoken about. To begin with,Deepika and I were never fighting that we had to make up. Asfor the controversy surrounding Race 2 then well, if shedoesn't or can't do a film then she must have her own reasons.
"I can't take things personally. She is a very nice girland was kind enough to explain to me her point of view. Thatwas good enough," he said.
The reports also suggested the duo were back beingfriends after they were pictured together in the Capital whileshooting for Homi Adajania's rom-com Cocktail.
"Now that really beats up. The pictures that made it tothe media were from a shot that we had given for Cocktail.In fact there was another girl in the frame as well. Thingscan really get funny when interpreted as per someone's ownwill," he added.
Saif and Deepika have previously starred in Love AajKal and Aarakshan.
The actor says his other films in the pipeline include anadaptation of a French comic book which may have directorAnurag Basu calling the shots and a film where he would beplaying a Bhopali detective.
