Kareena Kapoor says her actor husband Saif Ali Khan is not comfortable doing slapstick comedies such as Humshakals.
Kapoor, 33, thinks Saif is a “brilliant actor” who has taken cinema forward.
“I haven’t seen the film [Humshakals] yet. Of course he made a mistake and he feels that, because people don’t like to see him in that space as he has given such wonderful performances in films like Omkara, Parineeta and others. He has done films that have been path-breaking. Saif is one actor who has taken cinema ahead,” Kapoor said.
Sajid Khan’s recently released Humshakals received flak from the critics and the public. Ali Khan, who was one of the lead actors in the film, also admitted that he had made a mistake by doing the film.
“He is such a brilliant actor. So, may be some people thought they did not want to see him in this kind of genre. You can see another actor in this genre but not see someone like Saif. So in that sense he thought it was a mistake,” she said.
Kapoor has done comedy films herself, such as the Golmaal series, but she says those were not slapstick and had strong stories.
Kapoor is now looking forward to the release of Rohit Shetty’s Singham Returns.
