Saif Ali Khan to start filming Bhoot Police in August

Last seen in the Nikkhil Advani-produced Baazaar (2018), Saif Ali Khan is presently busy with Ajay Devgn’s ambitious period drama Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior. The high-profile film is currently being shot in Mumbai and is expected to be wrapped up in a couple of months.

The latest we hear that after completing Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior, the National Film Award-winning actor will start shooting for his next project Bhoot Police, which is a horror comedy co-starring Fatima Sana Shaikh.


Earlier titled Tantrik, the movie is being helmed by filmmaker Pawan Kripalani. Pawan is planning to kick-start the first schedule of the film in August as female lead Fatima Sana Shaikh will finish shooting for his ongoing film with filmmaker Anurag Basu by then.

A well-placed source informs, “Fatima has moved from Aamir Khan to Saif Ali Khan. Fatima, who is working with Anurag Basu opposite Rajkummar Rao for his multi-starrer, will wrap promotional work on that film and join Saif for filming Tantrik.  Fatima has finished shooting her portions for the Basu film. Pawan Kripalani, who has made a horror film Ragini MMS (2011) and then followed up with a psychological thriller Phobia (2016), has now planned this film which is being billed as a horror comedy.”

Besides Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior and Bhoot Police, Saif Ali Khan will also be seen in the second season of Netflix’s Sacred Games and the Aanand L Rai-produced film Hunter.
