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.”
