Saif Ali Khan sees his father Tiger Pataudi in director Priyadarshan
Saif Ali Khan drew a parallel between filmmaker Priyadarshan and his late father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, better known as Tiger Pataudi, while commending their work ethic. Saif remarked, "Priyadarshan is like Clint Eastwood—mature and composed. He brings my father to mind. They were both cricketers who lost an eye, yet they excelled in their respective fields." He further noted that Priyadarshan expects his actors to be decisive and quick on set.
