The been refrain from Nagin in Love Aaj Kal has caught on like wildfire.

“I’m glad. Because my producer Dinesh Vijeyan chased it up obsessively and we paid a small fortune to get the rights for that music from Sa Re Ga Ma,” tells Saif.

Kareena predicted that music will play at every nightclub in the country.

Saif and his director Imtiaz Ali held a press conference at a Gurdwara in Mumbai on Wednesday, before Sikh heads and prominent members of federations.

Saif tells, “That’s the way they wanted it and we didn’t mind at all. As long as the Sikh community understands that our intentions are totally honorable, we didn’t mind doing anything to appease the sentiments of the Sikhs.”

Saif tells he worked really hard to get the nuances of the Sikh character right. “Imtiaz and I didn’t want the character to be even slightly caricatural. We worked very, very, hard on the body language, and the speech. Then if the beard appeared not long enough, we couldn’t help it. Once people see the film they’ll know, there’s nothing to protest about. Everyone will be proud of me.”

But was the media communication allowed in a Gurdwara?

Saif tells, “It wasn’t really inside the Gurdwara; but in an office, within the premise. We all met and sorted it out.”
