As of now, people are obsessing over Taimur Ali Khan's viral pictures from his Rajasthan trip with mommy Kareena Kapoor Khan where the duo are accompanying Saif Ali Khan on the sets of his tentatively titled film, Kaaptan. The historical drama is bankrolled by Aanand L Rai's production and will be helmed by Navdeep Singh who has previously directed films like Phillauri, NH10 and Manorama Six Feet Under.
And recently, we got our hands on Saif's pictures from the sets, where he is seen sporting deadlocks, sealed with a bandana band. Pats tucked in boots, a muffler wrapped around his neck, the actor's look screams of a gypsie or, as a few tabloids report, he is playing an Afghan warrior in the film! While there is no certainty what character he is essaying, our interest is certainly piqued.

Saif is teaming up with his Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein (2001) co-star R. Madhavan in Navdeep's film after 17 years. Reportedly, Saif and Madhavan have trained in sword-fighting and horse-riding as part of their prep for the period drama. A lot of prosthetics has goe into creating their looks for the film, and with a sneak-peek into Saif's look, we can say it's worth it!

Anurag Kashyap's Mukkabaaz fame actress Zoya Hussain will be seen as the leading lady. Also, Sonakshi Sinha has been roped in to play an interesting cameo in the film. Her role is said to be the surprise element which is why the makers are keeping her part and look tightly under wraps for now.
The shooting of the project has already begun in Rajasthan, near Desuri village where a major portion the film will be shot. Deepak Dobriyal will also be joining the cast in an important role. This will be followed by schedules in Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh in the coming months.
