Imtiaz Ali's superhit 2009 film Love Aaj Kal featuring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone completed 10 years today and now, the director is all set to bring the sequel of the film Aaj Kal to the audience. Interestingly, the sequel stars Saif's daughter Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan.
In a recent interview with a leading daily, Saif revealed that he doesn't see Aaj Kal as the continuation of his film Love Aaj Kal. He also said that he is hoping that the new film will have a different story."I don’t see it as a continuation. If it had been [a continuation], I think that’s a producer’s thought, and I probably would have produced it for her or something like that. That’s just not how it has come about. Imtiaz should probably try and make one of these every 10 years, calling it Aaj Kal with different actors! I’m hoping it is a different story, though," Saif said.
Saif cleared that Sara starring in Aaj Kal doesn't make a difference for him as he doesn't see the profession as a legacy. He said, "If Sara is a part of it, I see no relation between the two movies. Maybe that’s because I don’t view the profession as legacy-based. I just think she is a really interesting personality on screen. Sara is very smart, and has her own lovely ideas about things; so it’s refreshing to talk to her."
He added, "I think, if anything, it’s Imtiaz’s franchise and his legacy that perhaps he is taking forward. I was just a part of it. I don’t think LAK is my legacy at all. I don’t think of it as Sara taking the franchise forward [either]..."
