Kya kya karna padta hai film keliye…. Well, to get it right, one has to learn it the hard way, they say… Chote Nawab Saif Ali Khan has literally done the same…

Birdies heard it that the smart-looking Khan of Bollywood has learnt to milk buffaloes! All for his role in Prakash Jha's ‘Aarakshan’! In this multi-starrer film, Saif said to be playing a tabela (dairy farm) owner. And for that, to get into the character perfectly, the actor has taken upon himself to learn certain things associated with diary farm.

The director is naturally very surprised and at the same time, impressed with Saif’s commitment to his role. Jha remarked to sources that he is amazed at how focused Saif is on getting the details right. “He is extremely responsive and attentive. Despite this role being a new experience for him, he has merged into the milieu well,” added the filmmaker.

The ‘Aarakshan’ team is currently shooting in Bhopal. Birdies shared that the unit have created a real-like tabela on the site which said to have nearly seventy buffaloes. On this Jha said that they wanted the ambience in ‘Aarakshan’ to look convincing.

Hmmm, looks like this ‘ambience’ has really captured our Saifu and led him to learn the ropes of farming ….

Besides Saif, ‘Aarakshan’ stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prateik Babbar, Hema Malini, Manoj Bajpai and Shabana Azmi.
