About Saif Ali Khan’s projects
Saif Ali Khan also has Netflix’s Hum Hindustani, a story inspired by true events from India’s first-ever election. The first-look teaser of Hum Hindustani is set in newly independent India in 1950 and opens with Saif Ali Khan’s character delivering a powerful speech. He tells the crowd that in America at the time, people of colour were denied the right to vote. He then declares that India is about to undertake something that has never been done anywhere in the world, universal adult suffrage. The teaser then shows a glimpse of Pratik Gandhi’s character as a police officer. As a rebellion aimed at stopping democracy erupts, Pratik Gandhi is tasked with stopping those opposing the democratic process.
Written and directed by Rahul Dholakia, Hum Hindustani is produced by Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and Nikkhil Advani under the Emmay Entertainment banner. It stars Saif Ali Khan, Pratik Gandhi, Deepak Dobriyal, Mimi Chakraborty, Sarika, and Shraddha Dangar. It will premiere on Netflix; however, a release date hasn’t been announced yet.
