Saif Ali Khan is really excited for his next action movie, ‘Agent Vinod’. No, not because his girlfriend, Karena, is acting with him. And, not because it is his second production venture. But because the subject of the movie is really appealing to him.

It seems the movie reminds him of his boyhood days when he used to enjoy watching classic action movies. He said, “With ‘Agent Vinod’, I got a sense of cinema which I’ve grown up with. To me there is something outstanding about that title, because it is almost ... almost a little tacky today. But, if it’s made in a particular way and is written in a particular way, it could be the coolest thing ever. It has a bit of a retro element. Just to give you an example: take the title ‘Mission: Impossible’. It is tacky. It’s cheesy. But when Brian de Palma directs it and Tom Cruise acts in it, and you see the poster, then you say Mission Impossible is a pulp title. So ‘Agent Vinod’ has also got a pulp element to it.”

So does that mean that we can expect the movie to be a Hollywood styled detective flick played by a slick character? Saif revealed, “He’s not camp and no one is drinking vodka martinis or sleeping with lots of girls or wearing a tux. There are some machine guns, fast driving, glass breaking on people’s head, lots of stuff blowing up. And I love that.” The actor further added that the movie will take one back to seventies and it has infused the essence of Vinod Khanna and Mithun Chakraborty which was inculcated in those days.

Hope this movie goes on to become a trend setter, as the actor projects it.
