Highlights

  • Saif Ali Khan, who plays gangster Raja Mishra in the forthcoming film Bullett Raja, says he always wanted to play such a character.
  • "After many years, I got this chance to play a character which is very different from me. I always wanted to play a gangster," the 43-year-old said here on Wednesday at a promotional event of the film.
  • Saif says the film, directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, is premised on the fictional mafia based in Uttar Pradesh, is neither vulgar nor violent. But it is fully entertaining.
  • "Tishuji (Tigmanshu) has tried to make each scene an item. There is action in the film but not violence, there is comedy but not vulgarity. So it is a good action drama set in the background of Uttar Pradesh. I'm very glad I could be part of it," Saif said.
