Saif Ali Khan in the past went about bragging that he was offered the lead role in Kaminey before Shahid Kapoor, however he has apologized for making that irresponsible comment.
Saif says, “My film(Love Aaj Kal) has already worked. I don’t want to sound false, but now I realise that in the past I might have made an irresponsible comment of having been offered a role in Kaminey. But the fact is, I was not. Vishal (Bhardwaj) had just mentioned the film to me. I don’t want it to be a personal battle any longer. We are all not friends (him, Vishal and Shahid Kapoor) for obvious reasons but I do think Vishal is a fantastic director. I have only heard good things about Shahid, from others and also from Kareena. He is a strong boy. I have learnt early in life that one cannot benefit from someone else’s failure.”
Saif apparently went through a stage of inferiority complex when Kunal Kapoor did not take him for any of his flicks after Tara Rum Pum.
