Saif Ali Khan’s Kaalakaandi’s Release Date Announced

Directed by debutant Akshat Verma, writer of the cult film Delhi Belly, the dark comedy is the story of six characters from different worlds — urban, ambitious Mumbai and its dark, neglected underbelly.

Saif said: “Kaalakaandi is a film I’m so happy to be a part of. It’s a cross section of Mumbai with underworld goons, doomed bankers and idealistic lovers all mixed together in this karmic tale about love, crime and living a lifetime in one night.”

According to a source in the know of developments, the script was written specifically with Saif in mind. It took over two years before the script finally got to the actor.
