Saif Ali Khans Agent Vinod shows modern India not capitalist society

Mumbai The actor and producer of Agent Vinod, Saif Ali Khan, has said that the movie reflects contemporary India unlike the James Bond movies where the protagonist was essentially the representative of "capitalist society." Although Agent Vinod has all the essential ingredients - cars, guns and of course women, with lot of action - typical of a Bond movie, Saif says the spy is entrenched in Indian society. The 41-year-old actor told reporters, James Bond is very iconic in this field. James Bond is a British hero against Russia...If we understand the significance of Bond thing then it is very political thing, Western society is capitalist where drinking and smoking is not bad thing...He is hero." Saif also said, "India it seems is no more influenced by Russia. Agent Vinod is not philosophical in the same place. India has also changed and I feel this is the right time to send the agent to London and can be proud of him, he does not look like a 70s hero," he said. The movie, also starring Kareena Kapoor, will be released on March 23.
