We are getting good with our stories: Saif Ali Khan on Bollywood

There is a churning in Bollywood as the industry is becoming better at both content and technology, says actor Saif Ali Khan.

"As an industry, we are still developing. Things are getting good with CGI, the kind of films we are making, the roles that we are offered, things are growing. Every day is a new day.

"It was a completely different time in the 90s, but this is more of an international school in terms of performances. Actors are setting new bars," Saif told PTI in an interview.

He cites the example of his last release, "Laal Kaptaan", which received mixed response but Saif sees the silver lining in the fact that director Navdeep Singh tried to make a different kind of a movie.

"Navdeep Singh made 'Laal Kaptaan' and it is an amazing attempt... In hindsight, you can say certain things. I had said that we should have edited it differently. It was a little long and slow but they said no. So sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don't."
"Like, 'Chef' was a very European movie in terms of its grammar and so is 'Happy Ending', you do not have the right ingredients for a commercial Hindi film. There are some people who can't do the kind of films I have done. I do enjoy the commercial Hindi cinema also. I think I can do it, I would like to do it."
"After a point, I don't think that at all. I don't think people also think that way. I don't believe that people think Langda Tyagi (his character from Omkara) is anyway reflected of who I am."
