Saif Ali Khan recently opened up about his son Taimur’s reaction to one of his films, and it wasn’t exactly glowing.

When Jaideep asked whether his children watched his movies, Saif admitted he had to apologise to Taimur for making him sit through the film, suggesting it didn’t quite land with the young viewer. He said, “No, because I have done different characters. Sometimes it's been a bad guy. So, then they ask me, ‘Are you a good guy or a bad guy?’ Maine abhi Adipurush dikhaayi (laughs). Woh kuchh der ke baad mujhe aise dekhne lage. So I said ‘Yeah, sorry’. He said ‘it's okay’. He forgave me.” 

Saif Ali Khan faced heavy criticism for his portrayal of Lankesh in ‘Adipurush’ following the film’s release, with many viewers calling it one of the weakest performances of his career.

The film ‘Adipurush’, inspired by the Indian epic Ramayana, featured Prabhas as Lord Ram and Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist, Lankesh. Despite its grand premise and high-profile cast, the film was met with widespread criticism upon release. Audiences and critics alike took issue with its subpar visual effects, controversial dialogues, and the overall treatment of the revered mythological narrative.
